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.

Chronic Ethanol Exposure Induces Deleterious Changes in Cardiomyocytes Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Understanding biological mechanisms involved in the long-term alcohol exposure-induced cardiotoxicity is pivotal to the discovery of therapeutic strategies. Cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells were treated with clinically relevant doses of ethanol for various durations up to five weeks.

Methyltransferase-Like 3 (METTL3) Attenuates Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis with Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion (I/R) Injury through miR-25-3p and miR-873-5p

Researchers showed that methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) was downregulated in mice ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) myocardial tissues and hypoxic/re-oxygenated (H/R) cardiomyocytes, and upregulation of METTL3 attenuated I/R and H/R-induced cell apoptosis.

Cellular and Molecular Modulation of Rotator Cuff Muscle Pathophysiology

Scientists highlight the current understanding of the cellular processes that coordinate muscle regeneration, and the roles of muscle resident cells, including immune cells, fibroadipogenic progenitors, and muscle satellite cells in the pathophysiologic regulation of rotator cuff muscles following injury.

Sarepta Therapeutics to Initiate Part B of MOMENTUM Study of SRP-5051 in Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Amenable to Exon 51 Skipping Following Positive Interactions with FDA

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. announced that following positive interactions with the US FDA, the Company plans to initiate Part B of the MOMENTUM study, in the fourth quarter. MOMENTUM is a global trial investigating the use of SRP-5051, the Company’s next-generation peptide-conjugated phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer to treat patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.

Neuronal Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Is Developmentally Regulated

Scientists used human iPSCs and generated a developmental timeline by differentiating sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS) iPSCs to neural progenitors and to motor neurons and comparing mitochondrial parameters with familial ALS and control cells at each developmental stage.

Role of PDE10A in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Hyperplasia and Pathological Vascular Remodeling

Intimal hyperplasia is a common feature of vascular remodeling disorders. Accumulation of synthetic smooth muscle cell (SMC)-like cells is the main underlying cause. Researchers investigated the function of PDE10A in smooth muscle cell proliferation and intimal hyperplasia both in vitro and in vivo.
