Summary
Skeletal muscle, the most abundant tissue in the body, is essential for life and movement. Muscle function is regulated in a complex manner by calcium and is severely impaired in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Changes in calcium regulation, known to occur in dystrophic muscle, will be investigated in an animal model using a novel, single cell approach. Results obtained will contribute to understanding better muscular dystrophy and help provide therapeutic targets for treatment.

Automated fibre braiding facility for multifunctional structural materials:
This project seeks to establish an Australian automated braiding facility to create innovative fibrous materials with multiple functionalities. This facility aims to provide Australian researchers with the capabilities of high-speed, precision and versatility to radially braid single or multiple filament types including carbon, metal, optical, natural, bio-inspired and bio-compatible fibres and filaments to create new materials with unique functional properties. The facility would be able to braid over multiple length scales spanning nanofibres to millimetre-sized filaments to create novel materials and shapes not possible using other processing techniques. Expected applications include new materials for building, self-healing, human protection and biomedicine. Read moreRead less
