《骨骼肌》是該領(lǐng)域唯一一本開放獲取的期刊，出版新穎、前沿的研究和技術(shù)進(jìn)步，研究骨骼肌生物學(xué)的分子機(jī)制。該雜志歡迎有關(guān)骨骼肌發(fā)育、代謝、質(zhì)量和功能調(diào)節(jié)、衰老、退化、營養(yǎng)不良和再生等方面的手稿，反映了這一領(lǐng)域的廣泛研究，重點(diǎn)是了解成年骨骼肌、其維持及其與非肌肉細(xì)胞類型和調(diào)節(jié)調(diào)節(jié)劑的相互作用。主要關(guān)注的領(lǐng)域包括:骨骼肌分化骨骼肌萎縮和肥大骨骼肌老化骨骼肌的再生和退化衛(wèi)星和類衛(wèi)星細(xì)胞的生物學(xué)骨骼肌營養(yǎng)不良變性骨骼肌能量和葡萄糖穩(wěn)態(tài)骨骼肌的非營養(yǎng)不良遺傳病，如脊髓性肌肉萎縮和肌病維持神經(jīng)肌肉連接阿諾定受體的作用和鈣信號在骨骼肌核受體在骨骼肌中的作用GPCRs和GPCR信號在骨骼肌中的作用骨骼肌生物學(xué)的其他相關(guān)方面此外，還將發(fā)表關(guān)于骨骼肌分子和細(xì)胞機(jī)制的轉(zhuǎn)化臨床研究的文章。也鼓勵(lì)提交病例報(bào)告。骨骼肌反映了對骨骼肌研究的廣度，并在心臟細(xì)胞生物學(xué)和神經(jīng)生物學(xué)等不同科學(xué)領(lǐng)域之間架起了橋梁，這些領(lǐng)域在細(xì)胞分化、興奮膜、細(xì)胞間通訊和維持方面具有共同的特征。合適的文章是模型和機(jī)制驅(qū)動(dòng)的，并適用于適當(dāng)?shù)慕y(tǒng)計(jì)原則;純描述性研究的興趣較小。

The only open access journal in its field, Skeletal Muscle publishes novel, cutting-edge research and technological advancements that investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. Reflecting the breadth of research in this area, the journal welcomes manuscripts about the development, metabolism, the regulation of mass and function, aging, degeneration, dystrophy and regeneration of skeletal muscle, with an emphasis on understanding adult skeletal muscle, its maintenance, and its interactions with non-muscle cell types and regulatory modulators.Main areas of interest include:differentiation of skeletal muscleatrophy and hypertrophy of skeletal muscleaging of skeletal muscleregeneration and degeneration of skeletal musclebiology of satellite and satellite-like cellsdystrophic degeneration of skeletal muscleenergy and glucose homeostasis in skeletal musclenon-dystrophic genetic diseases of skeletal muscle, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy and myopathiesmaintenance of neuromuscular junctionsroles of ryanodine receptors and calcium signaling in skeletal muscleroles of nuclear receptors in skeletal muscleroles of GPCRs and GPCR signaling in skeletal muscleother relevant aspects of skeletal muscle biologyIn addition, articles on translational clinical studies that address molecular and cellular mechanisms of skeletal muscle will be published. Case reports are also encouraged for submission.Skeletal Muscle reflects the breadth of research on skeletal muscle and bridges gaps between diverse areas of science for example cardiac cell biology and neurobiology, which share common features with respect to cell differentiation, excitatory membranes, cell-cell communication, and maintenance. Suitable articles are model and mechanism-driven, and apply statistical principles where appropriate; purely descriptive studies are of lesser interest.
