Growing old too early, automated assessment of skeletal muscle single fiber biomechanics in ageing R349P desmin knock-in mice using the <i>MyoRobot</i> technology
2019-08-19
Abstract excerpt
Muscle biomechanics is determined by active motor-protein assembly and passive strain transmission through cytoskeletal structures. The extrasarcomeric desmin filament network aligns myofibrils at the z-discs, provides nuclear-sarcolemmal anchorage and may also serve as memory for muscle repositioning following large strains. Our previous analyses of R349P desmin knock-in mice, an animal model for the human R350P...
