Skeletal Muscle Degenerative Diseases and Strategies for Therapeutic Muscle Repair

Tabebordbar, Mohammadsharif, Wang, Eric T., Wagers, Amy J.·2013·Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease

Abstract

Skeletal muscle is a highly specialized, postmitotic tissue that must withstand chronic mechanical and physiological stress throughout life to maintain proper contractile function. Muscle damage or disease leads to progressive weakness and disability, and manifests in more than 100 different human disorders. Current therapies to treat muscle degenerative diseases are limited mostly to the amelioration of symptoms, although promising new therapeutic directions are emerging. In this review, we discuss the pathological basis for the most common muscle degenerative diseases and highlight new and encouraging experimental and clinical opportunities to prevent or reverse these afflictions.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Because satellite cells are scarce in muscle, moving muscle stem cell transplantation into clinical practice has been difficult.

    “Several groups have reported successful replenishment of the stem cell pool by satellite cell transplantation into dystrophic or irradiated/injured muscles in mice120,139,140, although the rarity of satellite cells in muscle tissue has been a challenge for translating muscle stem cell transplantation to clinical practice141”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
