Example sentences for: myofiber
How can you use “myofiber” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Within the nucleus, NFAT binds DNA and activates transcription (in concert with other transcription factors) of relevant downstream target genes that encode proteins necessary for fast oxidative or slow oxidative myofiber phenotypes.
Moreover, tonic stimulation of the motor nerve must be repeated daily, or nearly so, over several weeks for the changes in myofiber properties to become fully manifest.
If Msx1 function is markedly reduced in salamander myofibers by preventing the efficient synthesis of the Msx1 protein, cellularization or fragmentation of the myofiber is inhibited, suggesting that Msx1 is required for this process.
Skeletal myofibers are innervated by motor neurons that contact each myofiber, and the intensity, duration, and timing of each muscle contraction are determined by the pattern of motor neuron firing.
The myofiber somehow “remembers” not only the pattern of activity it has experienced today, but what has gone on over the preceding days or weeks, such that the changes in abundance of proteins that control contractile function and metabolism accrue over time.
