| Scientists investigated whether reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the mitochondrial flavoenzyme monoamine oxidase A played a role in cardiomyocyte differentiation from human-induced pluripotent stem cells. [Basic Research In Cardiology] |

|
| Functional enrichment analysis pointed to an involvement of extracellular vesicle-related processes in the hearts of β-catΔex3 mice. Human induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes subjected to pharmacological Wnt activation recapitulated the increased expression of exosomal markers. [Communications Biology] |
|
|
|
| In vitro and in vivo assessments were performed using Doxorubicin (DOX)-treated H9C2 cells and rats. It was found that the urotensin II receptor antagonist, Urantide, and exercise training improved DOX-induced cardiac insufficiency and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. [Scientific Reports] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers used a calorie restriction (CR) model with muscle-specific 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) knockout and overexpression to confirm that CR delayed muscle aging by inhibiting 11β-HSD1. Self-proliferation and differentiation of muscle fibers of muscle stem cells were observed in vitro. [Frontiers In Medicine] |
|
|
|
| Investigators tested whether factors released by 3D-engineered human tendon constructs in response to uniaxial tensile loading could stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of human-derived myogenic cells. [Tissue Engineering Part A] |
| |
|
|
| Researchers described a medium-throughput, unbiased small molecule screen to identify novel disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology. [Stem Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Scientists established that the activation of the bitter taste receptor, TAS2R14, in human airway smooth muscle cells promoted relaxation through F-actin severing. [American Journal Of Respiratory Cell And Molecular Biology] |
|
|
|
| Investigators presented a fast, affordable, and reproducible three-cell co-culture system that could represent the different cellular mechanisms of atherosclerosis, extending from atherogenesis to pathological intimal thickening. [Plos One] |
|
|
|
| Researchers investigated the potential role of GATA6 as a novel regulator of tracheal fibrosis. It was found that GATA6 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) were obviously increased in tracheal fibrotic granulations and in TGFβ1-treated primary tracheal fibroblasts. [Cellular Signalling] |
|
|
|
|
| The authors describe the metabolic programs in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and the metabolic regulation in hPSC-cardiomyocyte production for cardiac regenerative therapy. [Journal Of Molecular And Cellular Cardiology] |

| Benitec Biopharma Inc. announced the enrollment of the first oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) patient into the OPMD natural history phase of the BB-301 clinical development program. [Benitech Biopharma, Inc.] |
