DOI: 10.1002/ana.25144
Abstract: Nemaline myopathy (NM) is one of the most common congenital nondystrophic myopathies and is characterized by muscle weakness, often from birth. Mutations in ACTA1 are a frequent cause of NM (ie, NEM3). ACTA1 encodes alpha‐actin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23030
Abstract: Aging is accompanied by major changes in body composition that can negatively affect functional status in older adults, including a progressive decrease in muscle mass, strength, and quality. The prevalence of sarcopenia has varied considerably,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12624
Abstract: Muscle weakness is a common symptom in numerous diseases and a regularly occurring problem associated with ageing. Prolonged low‐frequency force depression (PLFFD) is a form of exercise‐induced skeletal muscle weakness observed after exercise. Three different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12904
Abstract: Muscle weakness is a frequently occurring complication of sepsis, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Interestingly, obesity attenuates sepsis‐induced muscle wasting and weakness. As the adipokine leptin is strongly elevated in obesity and has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2020.03.018
Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIMS Fatty acid supplementation increases muscle mass and function in older adults, but the effect of habitual dietary intake is uncertain. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the association between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.11.037
Abstract: The deep core muscles are often neglected or improperly trained in athletes. Improper function of this musculature may lead to abnormal spinal loading, muscle strain, or injury to spinal structures, all of which have been… read more here.
