Ann Biomed Eng. 2020 Oct 1. doi: 10.1007/s10439-020-02633-7. PMID: 33001290


This article highlights the development of a novel intramuscular pressure sensor to accurately measure muscle tension in rabbits.
The findings in this manuscript provide support and instruction for future use of the fiber optic pressure sensors to estimate individual muscle stresses in human subjects.

Does a Reduced Number of Muscle Stem Cells Impair the Addition

of Sarcomeres and Recovery From a Skeletal Muscle Contracture?

A Transgenic Mouse Model


Does a Reduced Number of Muscle Stem Cells Impair the Addition of Sarcomeres and Recovery From a Skeletal Muscle Contracture? A Transgenic Mouse Model
Sudarshan Dayanidhi, Matthew C Kinney, Peter B Dykstra, Richard L Lieber. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2020 Apr;478(4):900-902. PMID: 32011372

This manuscript explores the crucial role of muscle stem cells (satellite cells) for muscle repair and plasticity. The authors generated an animal model system that allows for specific depletion of muscle stem cells following immobilization-induced plantar flexion contractions. Outcomes of this study demonstrate a relevant mechanism for the development of cerebral palsy in patients.
This manuscript is accompanied by a research commentary.
