MYH6‐Cre Insertion Accelerates Cardiac Phenotype in Dystrophic D2‐mdx Mice
D2.B10‐Dmdmdx/J dystrophic mice were crossed with Tg(myh6‐cre)1Jmk/J mice to create a cardiac‐specific Myh6‐cre (Cre+) promoter region on the D2‐mdx background. Cre+ dystrophic animals demonstrate worse right and left ventricular systolic function, which correlates with increased cardiac‐specific fibrosis and ultimately reduced survival.

Validity and Reliability of Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes in Multisystem Proteinopathy 1
ABSTRACT Objective Valosin‐containing protein (VCP)‐associated multisystem proteinopathy 1 (MSP1) is caused by variants in the VCP gene. MSP1 results in various phenotypes including progressive myopathy, Paget's disease of bone, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and parkinsonism, among others.

Myostatin Levels in SMA Following Disease‐Modifying Treatments: A Multi‐Center Study
ABSTRACT Objective This study investigated myostatin levels in SMA patients receiving disease‐modifying therapies (DMTs) to understand their relationship with treatment duration and functional status. Methods Our study includes both cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses of myostatin levels in treated SMA patients.

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...

Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP)
Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP) is a method that enables precise spatial patterning within a single suspended tissue. By leveraging capillary pinning and open microfluidics, STOMP facilitates the creation of complex tissue interfaces such as diseased‐healthy boundaries and tissue‐tissue junctions. This method integrates mechanical

Focused ultrasound‐mediated APOE4 knockdown in mouse brain
Abstract INTRODUCTION The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is widely recognized as the strongest genetic risk factor for late‐onset Alzheimer's disease. Therapeutic strategies to reduce apoE4 expression in APOE ε4 carriers hold promise to mitigate neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes driving disease progression. METHODS Focused ultrasound

The ESR1 gene is relevant in breast cancer treatments in the pharmacogenetics context. However, Native, African, and mixed populations are known to be underrepresented in genomic studies. This is particularly important given that the difference in variants' frequencies among different populations can lead to population‐specific clinical implications ...
