Skeletal Muscle

《骨骼肌》是该领域唯一一本开放获取的期刊，出版新颖、前沿的研究和技术进步，研究骨骼肌生物学的分子机制。该杂志欢迎有关骨骼肌发育、代谢、质量和功能调节、衰老、退化、营养不良和再生等方面的手稿，反映了这一领域的广泛研究，重点是了解成年骨骼肌、其维持及其与非肌肉细胞类型和调节调节剂的相互作用。主要关注的领域包括:骨骼肌分化骨骼肌萎缩和肥大骨骼肌老化骨骼肌的再生和退化卫星和类卫星细胞的生物学骨骼肌营养不良变性骨骼肌能量和葡萄糖稳态骨骼肌的非营养不良遗传病，如脊髓性肌肉萎缩和肌病维持神经肌肉连接阿诺定受体的作用和钙信号在骨骼肌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。也鼓励提交病例报告。骨骼肌反映了对骨骼肌研究的广度，并在心脏细胞生物学和神经生物学等不同科学领域之间架起了桥梁，这些领域在细胞分化、兴奋膜、细胞间通讯和维持方面具有共同的特征。合适的文章是模型和机制驱动的，并适用于适当的统计原则;纯描述性研究的兴趣较小。

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 muscleatrophy and hypertrophy of skeletal muscleaging of skeletal muscleregeneration and degeneration of skeletal musclebiology of satellite and satellite-like cellsdystrophic degeneration of skeletal muscleenergy and glucose homeostasis in skeletal musclenon-dystrophic genetic diseases of skeletal muscle, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy and myopathiesmaintenance of neuromuscular junctionsroles of ryanodine receptors and calcium signaling in skeletal muscleroles of nuclear receptors in skeletal muscleroles of GPCRs and GPCR signaling in skeletal muscleother relevant aspects of skeletal muscle biologyIn 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.
