An exploratory study of contractile force production in muscle fibers from patients with inflammatory myopathies
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Introduction: The mechanism by which weakness develops in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) is still unclear. In this study we investigated the maximum force of single muscle fibers from patients with IIMs. Methods: ... -
Preservation of shortening velocity and power output in single muscle fibres from patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
(Springer, 2022)Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are autoimmune disorders of skeletal muscle causing weakness and disability. Utilizing single fibre contractility studies, we have previously shown that contractility is affected ...
