Lessons Learned: Quality Analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography in Neuromyelitis Optica
ABSTRACT Introduction Optical coherence tomography (OCT)‐derived retina measurements are markers for neuroaxonal visual pathway status. High‐quality OCT scans are essential for reliable measurements, but their acquisition is particularly challenging in eyes with severe visual impairment, as often observed in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders ...

RUNX2 Activation in Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitors Promotes Muscle Fibrosis in Muscular Dystrophy
This study revealed a novel role of the chemokine‐TGF‐β1‐RUNX2 axis in determining the fate of FAP differentiation and modulating muscle fibrosis in patients and mice with muscular dystrophies. ABSTRACT Clinical evidence indicates concurrent muscle inflammation and fibrosis in muscular dystrophies (MDs); however, the molecular mechanisms underlying ...

HMGB2–RAD21 Axis Promotes Fibro/Adipogenic Progenitor Proliferation and Regulates Fat Infiltration
This study constructed the first developmental atlas of embryonic skeletal muscle fibro/adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) and identified an HMGB2+ FAPs subpopulation that regulates FAP pool size and muscle homeostasis. HMGB2 directly targets the RAD21 promoter, and its knockout significantly reduces FAP numbers, thereby lowering the potential for ...
