Muscle - Tendon Mechanics
• Muscle fibers do not attach directly to bone, but apply forces to the skeleton via aponeurosis and tendon, which arise from a specialized region called the myotendinous junction. Here myofibrils and collagen fibers overlap, forming longitudinal infoldings. Overlapping contact increases the strength of the junction compared to end-to-end contact since cell membranes support shear loads better ...
متن کاملDNA under Force: Mechanics, Electrostatics, and Hydration
Quantifying the basic intra- and inter-molecular forces of DNA has helped us to better understand and further predict the behavior of DNA. Single molecule technique elucidates the mechanics of DNA under applied external forces, sometimes under extreme forces. On the other hand, ensemble studies of DNA molecular force allow us to extend our understanding of DNA molecules under other forces such ...
متن کاملDaily Exposure to Dust Alters Innate Immunity
Pig farmers are exposed to organic material in pig barns on a daily basis and have signs of an ongoing chronic airway inflammation and increased prevalence of chronic inflammatory airway diseases, predominantly chronic bronchitis. Interestingly, the inflammatory response to acute exposure to organic dust is attenuated in farmers. The aim of the study was to closer characterize innate immunity f...
متن کاملExposure to Environmental Ozone Alters Semen Quality
Idiopathic male infertility may be due to exposure to environmental toxicants that alter spermatogenesis or sperm function. We studied the relationship between air pollutant levels and semen quality over a 2-year period in Los Angeles, California, by analyzing repeated semen samples collected by sperm donors. Semen analysis data derived from 5,134 semen samples from a sperm donor bank were corr...
متن کاملTendon mechanics: the argument heats up.
Tendon mechanics: the argument heats up TENDON has long been undervalued. Most textbooks describe only one concept of this tissue: tendons attach muscles to bones. This is akin to saying that Michelangelo was a painter. Both statements are true but do not even begin to describe the importance of their subjects. In fact, tendons play an essential role in a number of physiological processes, incl...
