|
| Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) were generated using a 2D in vitro monolayer differentiation protocol. Human KCNJ2 construct with green fluorescent protein tag was created and overexpressed in iPSC-CMs via lentiviral transduction. [Stem Cell Research & Therapy] |

|
|
| Investigators assessed cardiomyocyte number, cell cycle activity, and ploidy dynamics across two divergent mouse strains: C57BL/6J and A/J. [Development] |
| |
|
|
| The authors found that WD Repeat Domain 5 (WDR5) was required for the expression of double homeobox 4 (DUX4) and its targets in primary facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy muscle (FSHD) cells. [Nucleic Acids Research] |
|
|
|
| Scientists investigated the human skeletal muscle DNA methylome after exercise in low carbohydrate (CHO) energy balance compared with exercise in low-CHO energy deficit conditions. [American Journal Of Physiology-Endocrinology And Metabolism] |

|
| The saponin extract of the roots of Achyranthes bidentata was prepared and analyzed, and its activity on myoblast differentiation was assayed with C2C12 cell culture. [Journal Of Ethnopharmacology] |

|
|
| Investigators revealed a critical role of cardiac mesoderm enhancer-associated noncoding RNA, Carmn, a smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific lncRNA, in regulating visceral SMC phenotype and contractility of the gastrointestinal tract. [Gastroenterology] |
|
|
|
| Mass spectrometry identified that fragile-X-related protein (FXR1) interacted with cytoskeletal proteins, particularly Arp2 and CYFIP1. [Cell Reports] |
|
|
|
| Investigators showed that endothelial cell senescence played a negative role in pulmonary hypertension via juxtacrine interaction with smooth muscle cells. [iScience] |
| |
|
|
|
| Small nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8) is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) that has physiological roles in epithelial and muscle satellite cells. This lncRNA has been reported to be over-expressed in a variety of cancer cell lines. [Pathology – Research and Practice] |

|
| Lipella Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has entered into a manufacturing collaboration agreement with Cook MyoSite, Inc. to facilitate Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control documentation for Lipella’s drug candidate LP-10, aimed at treating hemorrhagic cystitis. LP-10 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA. [Lipella Pharmaceuticals (MarketScreener)] |
