Dysferlin, annexin A1, and mitsugumin 53 are upregulated in muscular dystrophy and localize to longitudinal tubules of the T-system with stretch.
(Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology, 2011-04)Mutations in dysferlin cause an inherited muscular dystrophy because of defective membrane repair. Three interacting partners of dysferlin are also implicated in membrane resealing: caveolin-3 (in limb girdle muscular dystrophy ... -
FGF23/FGFR4-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy is reversible.
(Scientific reports, 2017-05-16)Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone that directly targets cardiac myocytes via FGF receptor (FGFR) 4 thereby inducing hypertrophic myocyte growth and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy ... -
Hepatic histological findings in suspected drug-induced liver injury: systematic evaluation and clinical associations.
