    Multimodal Cell Atlas of the Aging Human Skeletal Muscle

    Scientists generated a single-cell/single-nucleus transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility map of human limb skeletal muscles encompassing over 387,000 cells/nuclei from individuals aged 15 to 99 years with distinct fitness and frailty levels.

    Inhibition of CDK7 Mitigates Doxorubicin Cardiotoxicity and Enhances Anticancer Efficacy

    Doxorubicin (DOX) exposure induced CDK7 activation in mouse heart and isolated cardiomyocytes. Cardiac-specific ablation of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) attenuated DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis.

    Abstract

    Differential Sex-Dependent Susceptibility to Diastolic Dysfunction and Arrhythmia in Cardiomyocytes from Obese Diabetic HFpEF Model

    Investigators performed echocardiography, electrophysiology, intracellular Ca2+ imaging, and protein analysis. Female heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) mice exhibited more severe diastolic dysfunction.

    Abstract

    Sedentary Behavior in Mice Induces Metabolic Inflexibility by Suppressing Skeletal Muscle Pyruvate Metabolism

    Scientists developed a mouse model of sedentariness, small mouse cage that, unlike other classic models of disuse in mice, faithfully recapitulated metabolic responses that occured in humans.

    Abstract

    Effect of the Mitochondrial Transaminase (GOT2) on Membrane Potential Sensitive Respiration in Mitochondria of Differentiated C2C12 Muscle Cells

    To assess the effect of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT2) on complex II respiration and to determine the effect in intact cells and isolated mitochondria, researchers performed respiratory and metabolic studies in wildtype and CRISPR-generated GOT2 knockdown C2C12 myocytes.

    Abstract

    Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Promote Proliferation of Pulmonary Smooth Muscle Cells Mediated by CCDC25 in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

    Bioinformatics analysis was employed to screen for potential molecules and mechanisms associated with occurrence and development of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

    Low Concentrations of TNF-α In Vitro Transform the Phenotype of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Enhance Their Survival in a Three-Dimensional Culture System

    Calf vascular smooth muscle cells were administered tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) before culturing in two- and three-dimensional well plates and polyglycolic acid scaffolds.

    The Role of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitophagy in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Insights

    The authors critically summarize the recent research progress on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in skeletal muscle atrophy and expound on the intrinsic molecular mechanism of skeletal muscle atrophy caused by mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy.
