This review aims to provide a historical reference of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)
metabolism and provide a link between peripheral and central nervous system (CNS) …

The L1 cell adhesion molecule NrCAM (Neuron-glia related cell adhesion molecule) functions
as a co-receptor for secreted class 3 Semaphorins to prune subpopulations of dendritic …

Postnatal regulation of dendritic spine formation and refinement in cortical pyramidal neurons
is critical for excitatory/inhibitory balance in neocortical networks. Recent studies have …

A novel function for the L1 cell adhesion molecule, which binds the actin adaptor protein
Ankyrin was identified in constraining dendritic spine density on pyramidal neurons in the …

In vitro muscle contractile function assays are important to characterize the differences between
different muscle types (eg, slow vs. fast), between a diseased and non-diseased muscle, …

A novel function for L1 cell adhesion molecule and its interaction with Ankyrin, an actin-spectrin
adaptor protein, was identified in constraining dendritic spine density on pyramidal …

Satellite cells are normally a quiescent skeletal muscle stem cell pool that upon activation
rapidly proliferate and differentiate to repair damaged muscle fibers. The paired box …

Although skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the body, playing key roles in
metabolism, heat generation, and macromolecule storage in addition to the obvious role in …

In this study we tested the hypothesis that green tea extract (GTE) would improve muscle
recovery after reloading following disuse. Aged (32 mo) Fischer 344 Brown Norway rats were …

Background Conventional therapy for patients with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) entails
restriction of protein intake to maintain acceptable levels of the branched chain amino acid…
