Determining the pivotal role of muscle myosin in critical illness myopathy
Associate Professor
University of Copenhagen
More than 20,000 patients are admitted to intensive care units in Denmark annually. Many of them develop muscle wasting and weakness that last for months after hospital discharge. This condition is named critical illness myopathy. In the present project, associate professor Julien Ochala aims to unravel the underlying mechanisms by focussing on the most abundant muscle protein, myosin.
