SAN FRANCISCO Nike Air VaporMax Plus Homme Bordeaux Rouge Pas Cher , July 13 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have shown that cellular antennae called cilia, found on fat-forming cells interspersed in muscle, play a key role in the muscle-to-fat transformation.


The findings Homme Nike Air VaporMax Moc Midnight Fog Pas Cher , revealed in experiments with mice and published Thursday in Cell, could open up new prospects for regenerative medicine, and one day enable researchers to improve muscle renewal during aging and disease.


Like it or not, as we age, our muscle cells are slowly exchanged Nike Air VaporMax Moc 2 Sail Anthracite Pas Cher , one by one, for fat cells. The process quickens when we injure a muscle, and an extreme form of this process is seen in muscle-wasting diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). High levels of intramuscular fat have long been associated with a loss of strength and impaired mobility, as well as more falls in elderly or obese individuals, and in patients with DMD.


"The frailty of age is a huge biomedical problem Femme Nike Air Vapormax Rose Blanche Pas Cher ," said Jeremy Reiter, a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UCSF and senior author of the new paper. "This study helps pave the way to learn how muscles normally age, and provides a new way to possibly improve muscle repair."


Primary cilia are tiny cellular appendages a bit like the cellular tentacles that paramecia and other single-celled critters use to move and gather food. But unlike those motile cilia, primary cilia do not move at all. They stand stiff and solitary on the surface of nearly all of our cells, including neurons Femme Nike Air VaporMax Hyper Punch Pas Cher , skin cells, bone cells and certain stem cells.


Recent work at Reiter's lab has revealed that primary cilia act much like cellular antennae, receiving molecular cues from neighboring cells, and processing environmental signals such as light, temperature Homme Nike Air VaporMax BHM Noir Blanche Pas Cher , salt balance and even gravity. And previous work has shown that when muscle is injured, fat-forming cells that live alongside muscle cells, called fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs), divide and differentiate into fat cells.


Daniel Kopinke, a postdoctoral fellow in the Reiter lab and first author of the new study Homme Nike Vapormax Pale Grise Chaussures Pas Cher , found that, unlike muscle cells, the fat-forming FAPs are more likely to carry primary cilia, and that muscle injury further increased the abundance of FAPs with cilia. These observations suggested that cilia might be playing an important role in fat formation.


To test this hypothesis, the research team used two mouse models of muscle injury Homme Nike Air VaporMax Chaussures Noir Pas Cher , namely an acute injury model created by injecting damaging agents into mouse muscles and a chronic injury model with progressive loss of muscle fibers such as that seen in in DMD. When the researchers genetically blocked the ability of FAPs to form cilia, both injury models showed lower amounts of fat in muscle. In addition, the loss of cilia not only led to the loss of fat, but also aided muscle regeneration.


Through a series of experiments, the group discovered that genetically engineering cells without cilia had resulted in a low-level activation of the Hedgehog pathway Homme Nike Air VaporMax Laceless Black Night Noir Pas Cher , which was enough to block fatty degeneration of skeletal muscle. When the researchers used other methods to amplify Hedgehog signaling, mouse muscle again became less fatty.


With further investigation, the researchers found that a key protein in the Hedgehog pathway called TIMP3 was responsible for the effect. By using a small molecule called batimastat, which mimics the effects of TIMP3, they were able to block injury-induced fat formation in muscle.


"Now for the first time we have a handle on the cell type that turns muscle into fat Homme Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Chaussures Noir Pas Cher , and we have a handle on the signaling pathway that controls the conversion," Kopinke was quoted as saying in a news release from UCSF. "Maybe one day we could use this knowledge to improve muscle function."




Many people continue sending in their premiums and do not make claims for a few years. Instinctively they would like some sort of release on renewal automobile insurance quotes as long as they stay careful drivers. That is essentially what should happen.


Almost all automobile insurance companies have a reducing premium calculation policy to reward drivers who stay clear of any vehicle related damages. In deed many drivers pay for the cost of small fender benders out of their pockets so that they keep the bonuses.


When you find a drop in the renewal quotes provided to you by your present insurance provider that is their way of saying thank you for being an ideal policyholder. Namely, they extend their appreciation to you for allowing them to make money from your custom.


Certainly there should be a difference between a good motorist and the one that somehow manages to come up with a new claim repeatedly. Few people have no clue of insurance theory. They think that they have settled the premium and they should somehow have more than they spent. What they forget is that insurance firms are well ahead of that game.


Obviously you will be facing a considerable rise in your costs after you make a claim. But if you are having hikes even though you have not involved in any accident or traffic tickets then it is high time you receive several rival quotes. Actually you should have alternative quotes at each renewal. There are quite a few factors that might have changed in the last twelve months or just rival insurance providers have become more competitive.


Drivers who have not made a claim for sometime should search into including accident forgiveness in their cover so that they do not lose all their no claim bonuses after one unlucky accident.


Policy renewals are quite convenient times to evaluate your cover to see if you would like to make any changes. Furthermore you should get other quotes to ensure that your insurer remains competitive.
