Mechanisms for fiber-type specificity of skeletal muscle atrophy.

TLDR
Fast-twitch glycolytic fibers are more vulnerable than slow-twitch oxidative fibers under a variety of atrophic conditions related to signaling transduction of Forkhead box O family, autophagy inhibition, transforming growth factor beta family, and nuclear factor-kappaB.
Abstract
Purpose of reviewThere are a variety of pathophysiologic conditions that are known to induce skeletal muscle atrophy. However, muscle wasting can occur through multiple distinct signaling pathways with differential sensitivity between selective skeletal muscle fiber subtypes. This review summarizes

Aging of skeletal muscle fibers.

TL;DR: Muscle size and architecture are both altered with advanced adult age and changes in myofibers include impairments in several physiological domains including muscle fiber activation, excitation-contraction coupling, actin-myosin cross-bridge interaction, energy production, and repair and regeneration.

Strategies and Solutions for Team Sports Athletes in Isolation due to COVID-19

TL;DR: Enc encouraging the athlete to reset their mindset to understand quarantine as an opportunity for development, organizing appropriate guidance, educating and encouraging athletes to apply appropriate preventive behavior and hygiene measures to promote immunity and ensuring good living isolation conditions is strongly recommended.

Sarcopenia in cirrhosis: from pathogenesis to interventions

TL;DR: Various factors such as dose, type, duration of supplementations, etiology of cirrhosis, amount of dietary protein intake, and compliance with supplementation and exercise should be the focus of future large randomized controlled trials investigating both prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in this patient population.

Oxidative stress, redox signaling pathways, and autophagy in cachectic muscles of male patients with advanced COPD and lung cancer.

TL;DR: Oxidative stress and redox-sensitive signaling pathways are likely to contribute to the etiology of muscle wasting and sarcomere disruption in patients with respiratory cachexia: LC and COPD.

Fiber types in mammalian skeletal muscles.

TL;DR: Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later modulated by neural and hormonal factors.

Targeting the TGFβ signalling pathway in disease.

TL;DR: Why the TGFβ signalling pathway is a drug target, the potential clinical applications of TGF β inhibition, the issues arising with anti-TGFβ therapy and how these might be tackled using personalized approaches to dosing, monitoring of biomarkers as well as brief and/or localized drug-dosing regimens are considered.

Autophagy Is Required to Maintain Muscle Mass

TL;DR: It is reported that muscle-specific deletion of a crucial autophagy gene, Atg7, resulted in profound muscle atrophy and age-dependent decrease in force and the results suggest that inhibition/alteration of Autophagy can contribute to myofiber degeneration and weakness in muscle disorders characterized by accumulation of abnormal mitochondria and inclusions.

PGC-1α protects skeletal muscle from atrophy by suppressing FoxO3 action and atrophy-specific gene transcription

TL;DR: The high levels of P GC-1α in dark and exercising muscles can explain their resistance to atrophy, and the rapid fall in PGC-1 α during atrophy should enhance the FoxO-dependent loss of muscle mass.
