Diosgenin Alleviates Age‐Related Sarcopenia by Promoting Satellite Cell Proliferation and Myogenic Differentiation via Activation of the SIRT1/PGC‐1α Signaling Pathway

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
As a critical bioactive component of Polygonatum sibiricum, diosgenin improves age‐related declines in skeletal muscle mass and function by activating the SIRT1/PGC‐1α pathway, upregulating the expression of the myokine METRNL and IGF‐1, and promoting satellite cell proliferation and myogenic differentiation.

Enrichment Probe Sets Combining Universal and Lineage‐Specific Targets Help Resolve Recalcitrant Lineages

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of target capture sequencing (TCS) with low‐coverage whole genome sequencing (lcWGS), an approach known as Hyb‐Seq, has allowed the integration of natural history collections into the genomics revolution, transforming biodiversity research. To implement Hyb‐Seq, a collection of genomic targets is needed to design probes.
