Nintedanib decreases muscle fibrosis and improves muscle function in a murine model of dystrophinopathy [PDF]
Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Dystrophin deficiency induces instability of the sarcolemma during muscle contraction that leads to muscle necrosis and replacement of muscle by ...

ABSTRACT Spasmodic dysphonia is a laryngeal dystonia that can present as adductor, abductor, or mixed types, with or without tremor. The etiology is not understood fully. Comprehensive evaluation is required to establish the diagnosis. Treatments include voice therapy, medications, botulinum toxin injection, laryngeal surgery, deep brain stimulation ...

Role of NRP1/HDAC4/CREB/RIPK1 Axis in SARS‐CoV2 S1 Spike Subunit‐Induced Neuronal Toxicity
Extracellular SARS‐CoV2 Spike‐S1 protein via NRP1 internalizes in the cytosol of SH‐SY5Y cells. Once inside, it upregulates the epigenetic eraser HDAC4, which binds transcriptional factor CREB, causes RIPK1 up‐regulation, and therefore necroptotic cell death.

Nanotherapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a lethal X‐linked childhood muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. Nanobiotechnology‐based therapies (such as synthetic nanoparticles and naturally existing viral and nonviral nanoparticles) hold great promise to replace and repair the mutated dystrophin gene and significantly change the ...

Transcriptional Diversity in Response to Aging Across Skeletal Muscles
We constructed transcriptional maps of 11 skeletal muscles from young and old mice, revealing age‐related tissue‐specific gene expression changes. Our findings highlight cellular composition shifts and new cell states in aged muscles, providing insights into muscle aging and potential therapeutic targets for age‐related muscle disorders. ABSTRACT Aging
