Sarcomere length, fascicle length, and serial sarcomere number are preserved in paretic hindlimb muscles following chronic stroke in rats despite persistent motor impairment

This study finds that chronic stroke in rats does not significantly alter sarcomere length or dispersion in paretic hindlimb muscles despite persistent motor impairment.

Force sharing between plantarflexor muscles in sheep during treadmill gait

This study examines force sharing between plantarflexor muscles in sheep during treadmill gait, finding that both muscles increase force with speed and incline, but the superficial digital flexor consistently produces greater absolute force than the medial gastrocnemius.

Pericellular Matrix Proteoglycan Content is Less Affected in The Mid-Zone Cartilage in Early Post-Traumatic Osteoarthritis

This study shows that proteoglycan loss is less severe in the pericellular matrix than in the extracellular matrix in the middle zone of cartilage early after ACLT in rabbits.

Automated analysis of rabbit knee calcified cartilage morphology using micro-computed tomography and deep learning segmentation

The paper develops a deep learning segmentation method for analyzing calcified cartilage thickness using micro-CT and compares it to histology across rabbit knee regions.
