As the largest organ of the body, skeletal muscle is not only the foundation of exciting human life movements, but also the crucial energy metabolism organ of the body, and the fundamental guarantee of a healthy physique. Skeletal muscle has a high degree of plasticity, and its function determines the body's exercise capacity, material metabolism level, and the function of distant organs. As factors such as exercise load, aging, and disease status change, the content of skeletal muscle also changes. Various muscle diseases lead to skeletal muscle dysfunction, such as neuromuscular diseases, spinal cord lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, sarcopenia, and muscular dystrophy. These muscle diseases seriously reduce the quality of human life and increase the risk of death.
In current research topic, we hope to update the latest data on the pathogenesis, preventive measures and treatment strategies of various muscle diseases. Our interests include but are not limited to the above-mentioned muscle diseases, as well as the risk factors that may lead to these muscle diseases. We are more interested in the treatment strategy of aging-related sarcopenia. In addition, skeletal muscle oxidative stress, skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction and related coping strategies are also desired. In summary, our original intention is to update the latest pathogenic factors, mechanisms, and treatment strategies of skeletal muscle diseases to provide useful references for fighting various muscle diseases and improving the quality of human life.
Muscle diseases we hope to include in this article collection may include, but are not limited to the following,
Neuromuscular diseases; Spinal cord lateral sclerosis; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; Myasthenia gravis; Sarcopenia; Muscular dystrophy; Mitochondrial myopathies; Polymyositis; Skeletal muscle aging; Muscle regeneration; muscular morbidity related to oxidative stress or mitochondrial dysfunction. In addition, discussions about treatment strategies for the above-mentioned diseases are also welcome in this Research Topic.
