TL;DR: The results indicate that chronic vascular insufficiency and, possibly, insufficient Vegf-dependent neuroprotection lead to the select degeneration of motor neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satellite cells in human skeletal muscle; from birth to old age
Lex B. Verdijk,Tim Snijders,Maarten R. Drost,Tammo Delhaas,Tammo Delhaas,Fawzi Kadi,Luc J. C. van Loon +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that type II muscle fiber atrophy with aging is accompanied by a specific decline in type II Muscle fiber satellite cell content, and resistance-type exercise training represents an effective strategy to increaseatellite cell content and reverse type II muscular dystrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of mouse skeletal muscle architecture using three‐dimensional diffusion tensor imaging
TL;DR: 3D DT acquisition and fiber tracking is feasible for the skeletal muscle of mice, and thus enables the quantitative determination of muscle architecture, which is in agreement with values obtained previously with the use of invasive methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite element modelling of contracting skeletal muscle.
TL;DR: The concepts of the finite element method are explained on a finite element continuum model of skeletal muscle used to describe the mechanical behaviour of a tibialis anterior of a rat.
Journal Article
Diffusion tensor imaging in biomechanical studies of skeletal muscle function
van Cc René Donkelaar,Ljg Kretzers,Phm Peter Bovendeerd,Lma Lataster,K Klaas Nicolaij,JD Jan Janssen,Maarten R. Drost +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to obtain valid input with regard to skeletal muscle fiber direction in numerical simulations of skeletal muscle contractions, and the results showed an excellent qualitative agreement between high-resolution MRI and DTI.
