title: [Analysis of Musculoskeletal Systems and Their Diseases. Recent progress in molecular pathogensis and treatment for muscle disorders].
abstract: There are a variety of different skeletal muscle diseases, each of which carries its own unique set of symptoms. One of the most common characteristics affecting the skeletal muscles is muscular atrophy. Indeed, muscle atrophy occurs under a variety of pathologyical conditions, including sarcopenia, glucocortcoid treatment.
