When the body loses motor units that innervate several muscle fibers, the neurons that survived attempt to “adopt” muscle fibers. The lower number of motor units functional means the individual has decreased strength and muscle atrophy. The vastus lateralis in 43 male cadavers aged 15 to 83, this study showed total number of muscle fibers was reduced…

    Their key findings of defective myofibrillar organization was through assaying the muscle ultrastructure of fla mutants 48 hours post fertilization. The results are shown in Fig 1. above. These images show that sarcomerogenesis is absent in fast-twitch muscle tissues (Fig. 1D,F) and in cardiac tissue, but is very well defined in slow-twitch muscle tissue (Fig. 1H). Also, myosin bundles were never seen in fla mutant muscles, implying SMYD interferes with "early myosin assembly or stability" (Just…
