In order to respond to the forces to which they are subjected, muscle fibers have developped specific membrane compartments and intracellular transport pathways. My research group is interested in understanding the mechanisms that allow: 1) adhesion and mechanotransduction by clathrin plaques at the costameres 2) the formation of T-tubules by caveolae 3) coordination with the cytoskeleton and 4) the vesicular traffic which takes place between these compartments. We combine molecular biology with correlative electron microscopy techniques to understand how genetic or physical parameters affect these mechanisms and how they are altered in the pathophysiology of centronuclear myopathy, myotonic dystrophy and limb girdle myopathies.
