[Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology] Skeletal muscle contains a designated population of adult stem cells, called satellite cells, which are generally quiescent. The authors discuss the role and regulation of satellite cells in skeletal muscle homeostasis and regeneration.

[Scientific Reports] Pro-Hyp administration induced many myogenically differentiated cells, including myogenin-positive myoblasts and myoglobin-positive myocytes, to migrate in the granulation tissue, while scar tissue decreased, indicating that Pro-Hyp administration accelerated muscle regenerative healing accompanied by less scarring after wounding on the abdominal wall.

[Scientific Reports] Performing in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence analysis, researchers found that mouse Hmcn1 and Hmcn2 showed a complementary distribution throughout different tissues and developmental stages.

[Scientific Reports] The Hippo pathway regulates the proliferation of cancer cells, pluripotent stem cells, and epithelial cells through a cell–cell contact-dependent manner, however, it is unclear if cell density-dependent cell proliferation is a consistent feature in cardiac myocytes. Scientists used cultured human iPSC-derived cardiac myocytes as a model system to investigate this concept.

[Nature Metabolism] FA2H was a direct target of miR-3075 and small interfering RNA depletion of FA2H in adipocytes, myocytes and primary hepatocytes led to increased insulin sensitivity. In chronic obesity, hepatocyte exosomes promoted a state of insulin resistance.

[Biomedical Materials] In this study, the esophageal extracellular matrix scaffold was successfully constructed by perfusion-decellularized technique through the vascular system for the first time.
