Myonuclear apoptosis underlies diaphragm atrophy in mechanically ventilated ICU patients
2024-07-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Rationale</h4> Mechanical ventilation plays an important role in critical illness-associated diaphragm weakness. Weakness contributes to difficult weaning and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Diaphragm weakness is caused by a combination of atrophy and dysfunction of myofibers, which are large syncytial cells maintained by a population of myonuclei. Each myonucleus provides gene transcript...
