|
| Lysosome-associated membrane protein 2a verexpression and knockdown were used to causally study chaperone-mediated autophagy’s role in hypoxically-stressed cardiomyocytes. [American Journal of Physiology-Cell Physiology] |

|
|
| Scientists demonstrated that satellite cells initiated expression of the myogenic transcription factor MyoD, which then induced re-expression of fetal genes in the myofibers that destabilized the sarcolemma. [Nature Communications] |

|
| The authors genetically reduced the expression of mechanosensors integrin-linked kinase and kindlin-2 in myogenic C2C12 cells and analyzed the gene expression of mechanosensors, clock components and metabolism-controlling genes. [Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences] |

|
| Investigators examined dishevelled (DVL) function in human myogenesis and the muscle-related cancer alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. [Scientific Reports] |

|
| A selenium (Se)-deficient skeletal muscle model was established. The skeletal muscle tissue and blood Se content were significantly reduced in the Se deficiency group. [Biological Trace Element Research] |

|
|
| Scientists demonstrated a role for KCNJ8/ABCC9-containing ATP-sensitive potassium channel (K-ATP) channels in the differentiation of brain vascular smooth muscle cell, which in turn was necessary for fine-tuning of cerebral blood flow. [Developmental Cell] |

|
| Researchers specifically deleted androgen receptor in smooth muscle cells of the adult mouse prostate under two tumorigenic conditions, namely, the Hi-Myc genetic model and the T + E2 hormonal carcinogenesis model. [Cell Reports] |
| | The focal adhesion kinase (FAK) gene expression levels and phosphorylated FAK protein values were evaluated in vascular smooth muscle cells treated with different doses of metformin, based on cell viability using quantitative reverse transcription PCR, western blotting and methyl thiazol tetrazolium techniques.
