The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor-I (GH/IGF-I) axis is an important stimulator of
collagen synthesis in connective tissue, but the effect of chronically altered GH/IGF-I levels on …

Exercise is not only associated with adaptive responses within skeletal muscle fibers but
also with induction of collagen synthesis both in muscle and adjacent connective tissue. …

Conclusions The following species of trypanosomes were successfully cultivated in the
developing chick embryo: rhodesiense, equiperdum, brucei, evansi and hippicum. T. lewisi was …

… In the interaction region, the atomic beam is crossed at near-right angles by two
counterpropagating UV laser beams (λ ≈ 312 nm). Photoexcitation is detected by pulsed-field …

… The PCR mastermix consisted of BrilliantIII UltraFast qPCR mix (Agilent technologies) and
a final concentration of 800 nM primers and 200 nM probes (IDT Technologies, Coralville, IA, …

… Total RNA concentrations and purity were determined by spectroscopy at 260, 280, and
240 nm. Good RNA integrity was ensured by gel electrophoresis. Real-time RT-PCR: 500 ng …

Background: Loading interventions have become a predominant treatment strategy for
tendinopathy, and positive clinical outcomes and tendon tissue responses may depend on the …

Overloading of tendon tissue with resulting chronic pain (tendinopathy) is a common
disorder in occupational‐, leisure‐ and sports‐activity, but its pathogenesis remains poorly …

Purpose Plantar fasciitis is a very common (lifetime incidence ~ 10%) and long-lasting injury
with major impact on daily function. Combining corticosteroid injection and physical training …

Age-related loss of muscle mass and function represents personal and socioeconomic
challenges. The purpose of this study was to determine the adaptation of skeletal musculature in …
