Skeletal Muscle

Journal Title：Skeletal Muscle

The only open access journal in its field, Skeletal Muscle publishes novel, cutting-edge research and technological advancements that investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. Reflecting the breadth of research in this area, the journal welcomes manuscripts about the development, metabolism, the regulation of mass and function, aging, degeneration, dystrophy and regeneration of skeletal muscle, with an emphasis on understanding adult skeletal muscle, its maintenance, and its interactions with non-muscle cell types and regulatory modulators.

Main areas of interest include:

-differentiation of skeletal muscle-

atrophy and hypertrophy of skeletal muscle-

aging of skeletal muscle-

regeneration and degeneration of skeletal muscle-

biology of satellite and satellite-like cells-

dystrophic degeneration of skeletal muscle-

energy and glucose homeostasis in skeletal muscle-

non-dystrophic genetic diseases of skeletal muscle, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy and myopathies-

maintenance of neuromuscular junctions-

roles of ryanodine receptors and calcium signaling in skeletal muscle-

roles of nuclear receptors in skeletal muscle-

roles of GPCRs and GPCR signaling in skeletal muscle-

other relevant aspects of skeletal muscle biology.

In addition, articles on translational clinical studies that address molecular and cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle will be published. Case reports are also encouraged for submission.

Skeletal Muscle reflects the breadth of research on skeletal muscle and bridges gaps between diverse areas of science for example cardiac cell biology and neurobiology, which share common features with respect to cell differentiation, excitatory membranes, cell-cell communication, and maintenance. Suitable articles are model and mechanism-driven, and apply statistical principles where appropriate; purely descriptive studies are of lesser interest.

《骨骼肌》是该领域唯一的开放获取期刊，发表新颖的​​前沿研究和技术进步，研究骨骼肌生物学的分子机制。反映该领域研究的广度，该杂志欢迎有关骨骼肌的发育、新陈代谢、质量和功能调节、衰老、退化、营养不良和再生的手稿，重点是了解成人骨骼肌、其维护和它与非肌肉细胞类型和调节剂的相互作用。

主要兴趣领域包括：

-骨骼肌的分化-

骨骼肌萎缩和肥大-

骨骼肌老化-

骨骼肌的再生与退化-

卫星和类卫星细胞的生物学-

骨骼肌营养不良性变性-

骨骼肌中的能量和葡萄糖稳态-

骨骼肌的非营养不良性遗传疾病，如脊髓性肌萎缩症和肌病-

神经肌肉接头的维护-

兰尼碱受体和钙信号在骨骼肌中的作用-

核受体在骨骼肌中的作用-

GPCRs 和 GPCR 信号在骨骼肌中的作用-

骨骼肌生物学的其他相关方面。

此外，还将发表关于骨骼肌分子和细胞机制的转化临床研究的文章。还鼓励提交病例报告。

骨骼肌反映了骨骼肌研究的广度，并弥合了不同科学领域之间的差距，例如心脏细胞生物学和神经生物学，它们在细胞分化、兴奋性膜、细胞间通讯和维持方面具有共同特征。合适的文章是模型和机制驱动的，并在适当的情况下应用统计原理；纯粹的描述性研究不太受关注。
