Generation of both an shRNA-resistant MEF2A over expression construct and a dominant negative construct in adenovirus for rescue and knockout experiments in muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Myocyte Enhancer Factor-2, or MEF2, transcription factor family is necessary for the differentiation and regeneration of both skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue.

Smooth(ing) Muscle Differentiation by MicroRNAs [PDF]

open access: yesCell Stem Cell, 2009
In a recent report in Nature, Cordes et al. (2009) demonstrate that miR-143 and miR-145 modulate smooth muscle cell (SMC) plasticity in part by regulating key transcription factors involved in SMC fate determination.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Different Effects of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-2 on Myogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

open access: yesStem Cells International, 2017
Insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are critical components of the stem cell niche, as they regulate proliferation and differentiation of stem cells into different lineages, including skeletal muscle.

The occipital lateral plate mesoderm is a novel source for vertebrate neck musculature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In vertebrates, body musculature originates from somites, whereas head muscles originate from the cranial mesoderm. Neck muscles are located in the transition between these regions.

Identification of serum protein biomarkers for pre‐cancerous lesions associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This work identified serum proteins associated with pancreatic epithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and early‐stage PDAC. Proteomics screens assessed genetically engineered mice with abundant PanINs, KPC mice (Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐KrasG12D/+ Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1‐Cre) before PDAC development and also early‐stage PDAC patients (n = 31), compared to benign ...

Inhibition of myotube formation by platelet-derived growth factor subunit B in QM7 cells [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Bioscience
Objective The primary objective of this study was to investigate the role and regulatory mechanisms of platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGFB) in muscle differentiation. Methods In this study, a vector for PDGFB was designed and transfected into

Identification of a novel function for the chromatin remodeling protein ING2 in muscle differentiation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The inhibitor of growth (ING) family of zinc-finger plant homeodomain (PHD)-containing chromatin remodeling protein controls gene expression and has been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation and death.

Targeting PKCθ promotes satellite cell self-renewal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Skeletal muscle regeneration following injury depends on the ability of satellite cells (SCs) to proliferate, self-renew, and eventually differentiate. The factors that regulate the process of self-renewal are poorly understood. In this study we examined
