Introduction

During the recent years, unprecedented amounts of latest data have seen the sunshine, revealing key factors that modulate the essential processes of the structure and performance of muscle. The assembly of the sarcomeric and extrasarcomeric complex body part, the formation of internal membrane systems and their contribution to the regulationof Ca2+homeostasis, the molecular dissection of specialised tissue layer small domains, and also the anchoring of the animate thing cytoskeletal network with the living thing matrix area unit just some of the themes wherever speedy progress has been created. Advanced genetic, molecular, cellular, organic chemistry,genomic, and proteomic approaches, victimisation various animal models, have unraveled the knotty details of those advanced pathways each throughout health and sickness and highlighted new queries and challenges. The breadth of latest data has been overwhelming nevertheless exciting, accenting all over again absolutely the want for development of subtle, multidisciplinary, and integrated approaches to review the roles of sub proteomes instead of individual proteins throughout development and in adulthood, beneath traditional and stress conditions.

A wide array of topics is mentioned during this special issue, as well as the regulated assembly of myofibrils, the biomechanical and biophysical properties of sarcomeric contraction, the dynamic tethering of skinny and thick filaments and also the distinctive, offsetting, or maybe redundant roles of their accent proteins, the enormous sarcomeric proteins, and their roles as molecular blueprints and sensors, the tissue layer and its role within the mechanical and chemical science coupling of neighboring cells, the trilateral regulation of Ca²⁺cycling musical organization by the activities of the t-tubules, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, the roles of exercise, fatigue and injury in contraction, and also the isolation and use of muscle stem cells. significantly, several of those processes area unit altered, compromised, or dysregulated in several sorts of skeletal and internal organ myopathies and dystrophies. a number of these area unit mentioned further. The editors of this special issue area unit in debted to any or all the authors World Health Organization provided either original information or a comprehensive review of the previous and up to date literature, creating this special issue appealing to a various audience of muscle researchers. Our goal was to the touch on totally different aspects of muscle physiology and pathophysiology at the molecular, cellular, organ, and system level. we have a tendency to area unit delighted to envision the end result of our decision within the type of this special volume, and that we hope that it'll give a flush supply of data and knowledge and any stimulate muscle analysis the least bit totally different fronts.
