RNA splicing factor RBFOX2 is a key factor in the progression of cancer and cardiomyopathy
RNA‐binding fox‐1 homologue 2 (RBFOX2) binds to RNA, influencing splicing and recruiting PRC2 for transcriptional repression. RBFOX2 impacts electromyographic signalling, L‐type Ca2+ channels, sliding filaments and mitochondria. RBFOX2 is involved in tumour cell proliferation, invasion, migration and drug resistance.

Local Accumulation of Acetylcholine Receptors is Neither Necessary Nor Sufficient to Induce Cluster Formation [PDF]
Acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) accumulate at developing neuromuscular junctions in part via lateral migration of diffusely expressed receptors. Using a model system--cultured Xenopus muscle cells exposed to electric fields--we have shown that AChRs ...

Clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: from the neuromuscular junction to interneuronal synapses [PDF]
Fast and accurate synaptic transmission requires high-density accumulation of neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. During development of the neuromuscular junction, clustering of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) is one of the first ...

Developing cardiac and skeletal muscle share fast-skeletal myosin heavy chain and cardiac troponin-I expression [PDF]
Skeletal muscle derived stem cells (MDSCs) transplanted into injured myocardium can differentiate into fast skeletal muscle specific myosin heavy chain (sk-fMHC) and cardiac specific troponin-I (cTn-I) positive cells sustaining recipient myocardial ...

Establishing laboratory standards for biological flight experiments [PDF]
The general objective of this research was to assess the effects of exposure to simulated microgravity on ultrastructural aspects of the contractile system in chicken skeletal muscle cells. This general objective had two specific experimental components:

Acetylcholine Receptors and Concanavalin A-Binding Sites on Cultured Xenopus Muscle Cells: Electrophoresis, Diffusion, and Aggregation [PDF]
Using digitally analyzed fluorescence videomicroscopy, we have examined the behavior of acetylcholine receptors and concanavalin A binding sites in response to externally applied electric fields.

Extended 2D myotube culture recapitulates postnatal fibre type plasticity [PDF]
Background: The traditional problems of performing skeletal muscle cell cultures derived from mammalian or avian species are limited myotube differentiation, and transient myotube persistence which greatly restricts the ability of myotubes to undergo ...

Review: Dystroglycan in the Nervous System [PDF]
Dystroglycan is part of a large complex of proteins, the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophies for a long time.
