NOR-1 Overexpression Elevates Myoglobin Expression via PERM1 and Enhances Mitochondrial Function and Endurance in Skeletal Muscles of Aged Mice
[FASEB Journal] Transcriptomic profiling of the human response to exercise revealed that the nuclear receptor NR4A3 (NOR-1) was among the most responsive genes to acute exercise.
One-Step Laser-Assisted Electrohydrodynamic Printing of Microelectronic Scaffolds for Electrophysiological Monitoring of Aligned Cardiomyocytes
[ACS Nano ] A laser-assisted electrohydrodynamic printing strategy was proposed to directly fabricate a microfibrous architecture with built-in microelectronics for electrophysiological monitoring of aligned cardiomyocytes.
Sarcopenia and Skeletal Muscle Loss after CAR T-cell Therapy in Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma
[Clinical Cancer Research] In 83 large B-cell lymphoma patients, the skeletal muscle index was measured from clinical images obtained at baseline and days 30 and 90 post-therapy.
ATM Knock out Alters Calcium Signaling and Augments Contraction in Skeletal Muscle Cells Differentiated from Human Urine-Derived Stem Cells
[Cell Death Discovery] By using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, the authors knocked out the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) protein in urine-derived stem cells from healthy donors.
Novel Directly Reprogrammed Smooth Muscle Cells Promote Vascular Regeneration as Microvascular Mural Cells
[Circulation] Scientists applied myocardin and all-trans retinoic acid with specific culture conditions to directly reprogram human dermal fibroblasts into contractile smooth muscle cells.
Mg2+ Influx Mediated by TRPM7 Triggers the Initiation of Muscle Stem Cell Activation
[Science Advances] Scientists identified transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), an Mg2+-permeable ion channel, as a critical regulator of muscle stem cell activation.
Mg2+ Influx Mediated by TRPM7 Triggers the Initiation of Muscle Stem Cell Activation
[Science Advances] Scientists identified transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7), an Mg2+-permeable ion channel, as a critical regulator of muscle stem cell activation.
Galectin-3: A Novel Biomarker of Glycogen Storage Disease Type III
[Cell Death Discovery] Researchers conducted a comparative gene expression analysis of several in vitro and in vivo models and identified galectin-3 as a potential biomarker of the disease.
Academy of Medical Sciences Awards Grants to King’S Researchers
[King's College London] Dr Robert Seaborne and Dr Simon Cleary have been awarded grants from The Academy of Medical Sciences through the Springboard scheme, which supports outstanding biomedical research.
Berberine Inhibits Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Formation and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Switching by Regulating the Nrf2 Pathway
[Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine] Investigators found that berberine prevented the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm by regulating the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cell, which was well validated in both in vitro and in vivo functional experiments.
Cardiomyocyte-Enriched USP20 Ameliorates Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy by Targeting STAT3 Deubiquitination
[Advanced Science] The authors investigated the role and mechanism of deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in cardiac hypertrophy.
PKM2 Crotonylation Reprograms Glycolysis in VSMCs, Contributing to Phenotypic Switching
[Oncogene] Investigators verified a crucial role of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) crotonylation in vascular smooth muscle cell metabolic reprogramming.
Every day, our editorial team sifts through the most recent scientific literature to help keep researchers and medical professionals current. Muscle Cell News covers the three types of muscle cells: cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle. We cover a broad range of topics, including cell culturing, muscle regeneration, and musculoskeletal disorders.
