Journal ArticleDOI
Three myosin heavy chain isoforms in type 2 skeletal muscle fibres.
Stefano Schiaffino,Luisa Gorza,Saverio Sartore,Leopoldo Saggin,Simonetta Ausoni,M. Vianello,Kristian Gundersen,Terje Lømo +7 more
TL;DR: The existence of the 2X-MHC isoform was confirmed by immunoblotting analysis using muscles containing 2X fibres as a major component, such as the normal and hyperthyroid diaphragm, and the soleus muscle after high frequency chronic stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Firing patterns of motor units in normal rats.
Rune Hennig,Terje Lømo +1 more
TL;DR: Recording for extended periods from single motor units in the fast extensor digitorum longus (edl) and the slow soleus (sol) muscle of freely moving adult rats yields information about firing rate, amount of use, modulation of muscle force and tonic and phasic behaviour for 16 motor units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcineurin controls nerve activity-dependent specification of slow skeletal muscle fibers but not muscle growth
Antonio L. Serrano,Marta Murgia,Giorgia Pallafacchina,Elisa Calabria,Patrizia Coniglio,Terje Lømo,Stefano Schiaffino +6 more
TL;DR: The activation of MyHC-slow induced by direct electrostimulation of denervated regenerating muscle with a continuous low frequency impulse pattern is blocked by CsA, showing that calcineurin function in muscle fibers and not in motor neurons is responsible for nerve-dependent specification of slow muscle fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ras is involved in nerve-activity-dependent regulation of muscle genes
Marta Murgia,Antonio L. Serrano,Elisa Calabria,Giorgia Pallafacchina,Terje Lømo,Stefano Schiaffino +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that constitutively active Ras and a Ras mutant that selectively activates the MAPK(ERK) pathway are able to mimic the effects of slow motor neurons on expression of myosin genes, indicating that Ras–MAPK signalling is involved in promoting nerve-activity-dependent differentiation of slow muscle fibres in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
The discovery of long-term potentiation
TL;DR: The circumstances around the discovery of long-term potentiation (LTP) are described, which is now properly considered to be the basic reference for theiscovery of LTP.
