Every day, our editorial team sifts through the most recent scientific literature to help keep researchers and medical professionals current. Muscle Cell News is a publication covering 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.

Differential Response of Oxidative and Glycolytic Skeletal Muscle Fibers to Mesterolone

Investigators examined whether oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibers responded differentially to exogenous anabolic androgenic steroids by comparing morphological and histological changes between the oxidative anterior latissimus dorsi and glycolytic pectoralis major fibers in adult avian muscles.

Hoxa10 Mediates Positional Memory to Govern Stem Cell Function in Adult Skeletal Muscle

Investigators showed that expression of Homeobox-A (Hox-A) cluster genes accompanied with DNA hypermethylation of the Hox-A locus was robustly maintained in both somite-derived muscles and their associated satellite cells in adult mice, which recapitulated their embryonic origin.

The Golgi Apparatus Is the Main Microtubule-Organizing Center in Differentiating Skeletal Muscle Cells

Researchers investigated the positional relationship between the microtubule nucleating sites and the Golgi apparatus in C2C12 myotubes and in primary cultured mouse skeletal myotubes.

Overexpression of Human BAG3P209L in Mice Causes Restrictive Cardiomyopathy

The authors suggested that the disease mechanism of childhood cardiomyopathy was due to accumulation of human BAG3P209L and mouse Bag3, causing sequestering of components of the protein quality control system and autophagy machinery leading to sarcomere disruption.

CD38 Deficiency Alleviates Ang II-Induced Vascular Remodeling by Inhibiting Small Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Senescence in Mice

Scientists showed that CD38 deficiency in lymphocytes led to lack of protection against Ang II-induced vascular remodeling, suggesting that the effects of CD38 on Ang II-induced vascular remodeling may have relied primarily on vascular smooth muscle cells, not lymphocytes.

The Role of T Cells in Age-Related Diseases

Scientists present different mechanisms by which T cells contribute to inflammaging and might act as modulators of age-associated diseases, including through enhanced pro-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity, defective clearance of senescent cells or regulation of the gut microbiota.
