| Investigators showed that MyoD functioned as a “genome organizer” that specified 3D genome architecture unique to muscle cell development, and that H3K27ac was insufficient for the establishment of MyoD-induced chromatin loops in muscle cells. [Nature Communications] |

|
| Researchers measured the levels of inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and necrosis in endomyocardial biopsies and sera of nonischemic parvovirus(PV) B19-positive and PVB19-negative dilated cardiomyopathy patients. [Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology] |

|
|
| A20 was underexpressed and miR-1a-3p was overexpressed in the myocardium of viral myocarditis mice as well as in Coxsackie virus B3-infected cardiomyocytes. [BMC Cardiovascular Disorders] |
| |
|
|
| To elucidate the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of metabolic reprogramming, researchers chronically treated wild-type mice and several newly developed mutant mouse strains with clenbuterol, a selective β2-adrenergic receptor agonist. [Nature Communications] |
|
|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that while two resident stem cell populations, muscle stem cells (MuSCs) and fibro/adipogenic progenitors, had similar proliferation rates after injury, the differentiation potential of mutant MuSCs was compromised. [NPJ Regenerative Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Researchers performed metabolic profiling of the C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes in serum-free mediums and compared it with conventional serum supplementation culture. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers discovered the possible role and mechanism of long coding RNA X-inactivate specific transcript (XIST) in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) – stimulated vascular smooth muscle cells, which could further help evalute its possible a role in the progression of atherosclerosis. [Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity] |
|
|
|
| Evaluation of 2-benzyllawsone against vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension, and sepsis-related inflammation and infection was carried out in the cecal ligation and puncture model in Swiss albino mice and aortic smooth muscle cells in vitro. [European Journal of Pharmacology] |
|
|
|
| In endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, stimulation with high glucose, TNFα or LPS induced a significant upregulation of endogenous G-protein coupled receptor 5B of family C (GPRC5B) mRNA and protein levels. [Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications] |
| |
|
|
|
| Scientists summarize recent advances in tissue transglutaminase and discuss its role and mechanisms in the progression of various cardiovascular disease and its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target. [Pharmacological Research] |

|
| Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. announced topline results from Part II of Study SRP-9001-102, an ongoing, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of a single dose of SRP-9001 in 41 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
