Neuromuscular ageing is characterized by neural and/or skeletal muscle degeneration that decreases maximal force and power. Female neuromuscular ageing occurs earlier in life compared to males, potentially due to sex hormone changes during …
Female fertility relies heavily on the health of the oviduct and uterus. Each of these organs consist of a muscular tube lined by epithelial cells. In this review, we discuss the role of the TMEM16A chloride ion channel, expressed in the ep…
It has been hypothesised that skeletal muscle protein turnover is affected by menstrual cycle phase with a more anabolic environment during the follicular vs. the luteal phase. We assessed the influence of menstrual cycle phase on muscle pr…
KEY POINTS: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress promotes placental dysmorphogenesis and is associated with poor pregnancy outcomes. We show that unfolded protein response signalling pathways located in the ER drive differentiation of mouse tr…
