Skeletal Muscle Structure and Function in Health and Disease

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The theme of this special issue is to provide a recent advancement in skeletal muscle research with the emphasize on the molecular mechanisms underlying skeletal muscle structure and function in health and disease. The topics covers, cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with muscle differentiation, growth and development, role of sarcomeres and extracellular matrix, muscle excitation-contraction coupling, muscle physiology at the cellular and organ level, muscle metabolism, disease mechanisms associated with muscle atrophy, senescence, and muscle wasting.
