We give an overview of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), a NASA Explorer Mission
launched on 2003 April 28. GALEX is performing the first space UV sky survey, including …

We report the first year's on-orbit performance results for the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX),
a NASA Small Explorer that is performing a survey of the sky in two ultraviolet bands. …

A dystrophin-containing glycoprotein complex (DGC) links the basal lamina surrounding each
muscle fibre to the fibre’s cytoskeleton, providing both structural support and a scaffold for …

Myoglobin, an intracellular haemoprotein expressed in the heart and oxidative skeletal
myofibres of vertebrates, binds molecular oxygen and may facilitate oxygen transport from …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the most common inherited lethal muscle degenerative
disease. Currently there is no cure. Highly abbreviated microdystrophin cDNAs were …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder in which the loss of
dystrophin causes progressive degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Potential …

Loss-of-function mutations in the myotubularin gene (MTM1) cause X-linked myotubular
myopathy (XLMTM), a fatal, congenital pediatric disease that affects the entire skeletal …

The mammalian brain is highly vulnerable to oxygen deprivation, yet the mechanism
underlying the brain’s sensitivity to hypoxia is incompletely understood. Hypoxia induces …

MicroRNAs modulate cellular phenotypes by inhibiting expression of mRNA targets. In this
study, we have shown that the muscle-specific microRNAs miR-133a-1 and miR-133a-2 are …

In response to physiological stimuli, skeletal muscle alters its myofiber composition to
significantly affect muscle performance and metabolism. This process requires concerted …
