Troponin T3 regulates nuclear localization of the calcium channel Cavβ1a subunit in skeletal muscle [PDF]
The voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav) β1a subunit (Cavβ1a) plays an important role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC), a process in the myoplasm that leads to muscle-force generation. Recently, we discovered that the Cavβ1a subunit travels to the

In skeletal muscles, muscle fibers are highly organized and bundled within the basement membrane. Several microfabricated substrate models have failed to mimic the macrostructure of native muscle, including various extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins ...

Pancreatic cancer-derived S-100A8 N-terminal peptide: a diabetes cause? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to identify the pancreatic cancer diabetogenic peptide. METHODS: Pancreatic tumor samples from patients with (n=15) or without (n=7) diabetes were compared with 6 non-neoplastic pancreas samples using SDS-PAGE.

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α represents an oxygen-sensitive subunit of HIF transcriptional factor, which is usually degraded in normoxia and stabilized in hypoxia to regulate several target gene expressions.

Myoblast fusion in Drosophila [PDF]
The body wall musculature of a Drosophila larva is composed of an intricate pattern of 30 segmentally repeated muscle fibers in each abdominal hemisegment. Each muscle fiber has unique spatial and behavioral characteristics that include its location, orientation, epidermal attachment, size and pattern of innervation.

Smad7:β-catenin Complex Regulates Myogenic Gene Transcription [PDF]
Recent reports indicate that Smad7 promotes skeletal muscle differentiation and growth. We previously documented a non-canonical role of nuclear Smad7 during myogenesis, independent of its role in TGF-β signaling.

Changes in Expression of Proteolytic-Related Genes in Chick Myoblasts during Myogenesis
Changes in expression of proteolytic-related genes in chick myoblasts during myogenesis were investigated. Expression of MyoD and myogenin, as an index of differentiation, was regulated in chick myoblasts during myogenesis.

The number of adult myofibers in Drosophila is determined by the number of founder myoblasts selected from a myoblast pool, a process governed by fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling.

Bidirectional Myoblast-Pericyte Plasticity [PDF]
Microvascular pericytes are able to generate multiple mesenchymal cell types, including skeletal muscle myoblasts. Cappellari et al. (2013) report in this issue of Developmental Cell that myoblasts can return the favor by generating pericytes via the action of Dll4 Notch ligand and PDGF-BB.
