    KCNH2 Encodes a Nuclear-Targeted Polypeptide That Mediates hERG1 Channel Gating and Expression

    Investigators identified a non-conducting KCNH2-encoded polypeptide, hERG1NP, that was upregulated in immature cardiomyocytes, and its targeting of the nucleus indirectly modulated hERG1 gating.

    ABRO1 Arrests Postnatal Cardiomyocyte Proliferation and Myocardial Repair By Blocking N6-Methyladenosine Methylation and Expression of PSPH

    Scientists revealed that abraxas 2 (ABRO1) was an imperative contributor to the cell cycle withdrawal and attenuation of proliferative response in the postnatal cardiomyocytes, and could act as a potential target to accelerate cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac repair in the adult heart.

    Abstract

    Machine Learning-Based Classification of Dual Fluorescence Signals Reveals Muscle Stem Cell Fate Transitions in Response to Regenerative Niche Factors

    The authors overcame prior limitations and enabled monitoring of stem cell behavior and real-time cell fate transitions in culture using a new strategy that permitted spatial segregation and systematic manipulation of biomechanical and biochemical cues in conjunction with single-cell lineage tracing in real-time.

    MSCs-Derived Apoptotic Extracellular Vesicles Promote Muscle Regeneration by Inducing Pannexin 1 Channel-Dependent Creatine Release by Myoblasts

    Researchers extracted apoptotic extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-ApoEVs) to treat cardiotoxin-induced tibialis anterior injury and found that MSCs-ApoEVs promoted muscles regeneration and increased the proportion of multinucleated cells.
