FHL1 activates myostatin signalling in skeletal muscle and promotes atrophy (2015)
Journal Article

Myostatin is a TGFβ family ligand that reduces muscle mass. In cancer cells, TGFβ signalling is increased by the protein FHL1. Consequently, FHL1 may promote signalling by myostatin. We therefore tested the ability of FHL1 to regulate myostatin funct... Read More about FHL1 activates myostatin signalling in skeletal muscle and promotes atrophy.

DEVELOPING, TESTING AND OPTIMISING A MOUSE HINDLIMB MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Charles, J. P., Cappellari, O., Spence, A., Wells, D. J., & Hutchinson, J. R. DEVELOPING, TESTING AND OPTIMISING A MOUSE HINDLIMB MUSCULOSKELETAL MODEL

Stability during locomotion arises from many complex interactions which are not yet fully understood. Studies into how sensory feedback from muscle spindles contributes to this have used neuromechanical simulations, however their accuracy is limited...
