AMPK signaling is dysregulated in human tendinopathy and loss of AMPKα1 leads to cell, matrix and mechanical dysfunction in mouse Achilles tendon
Tendinopathy is a tendon disorder that is caused by the failure to self-repair and has many pathological characteristics such as disorganized ECM and decreased cell viability. We have identified a pos...

Overexpression of enhanced yellow fluorescent protein fused with Channelrhodopsin‐2 causes contractile dysfunction in skeletal muscle
Optogenetic tools like Channelrhodpsin-2 (ChR2) are useful for inducing skeletal muscle contraction using blue light. However, the prevalence of fluorescent proteins like EYFP may cause functional is...
