Apoptotic signaling in skeletal muscle fibers during atrophy
1 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
This brief review discusses an exciting area in skeletal muscle research, namely the role of apoptosis in relation to muscle activity. Apoptotic cell death appears to occur during atrophy as a mechanism for removing part of the myofiber without affecting its viability. Recent developments in our understanding of the signaling of muscle catabolism and new insights into the therapeutic outlets are highlighted. The...
