Chaperone and Gene Regulatory Roles of SMYD1b during Early Skeletal Muscle Development and Heart Morphogenesis
DownloadFall 2017
Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units that make up the striated muscle of the heart and skeletal muscle. The specification and differentiation of muscle cells and the contractile function of the sarcomere are generally well understood, but how the sarcomere assembles remains largely unknown....

Comparative Analysis of the Anatomy of the Myxinoidea and the Ancestry of Early Vertebrate Lineages
DownloadFall 2012
The question of whether a hagfish is a true vertebrate or not has profound implications about the ancestry of the clade. New anatomical evidence allows a test of their systematic position. With dissections and serial sections of original specimens, and with a literature review, a comparative...

The energy requirements to produce muscle and fat in five beef composites relative to harvest age were determined. In Exp. 1, the proportion of muscle in the whole carcass decreased and fat increased with harvest age (P < 0.01). Based on energy apportioned to muscle and fat, to obtain lean beef,...

Inactivation of Magel2 in a mouse model of Prader-Willi Syndrome alters autophagy in the hypothalamus and impairs muscle function
DownloadFall 2016
Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder causing severe neonatal hypotonia that persists until adulthood, reduced muscle mass, and hyperphagia leading to childhood-onset obesity. PWS is caused by inactivation of several genes located on chromosome 15q11-q13, including MAGEL2....
