A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Genomic Analysis of Inbreeding Depression on Productive Traits in Rubia Galega Beef Cattle Breed
ABSTRACT In autochthonous livestock breeds with small populations, such as the Rubia Galega from Galicia (Spain), mating between relatives is common and can lead to inbreeding depression. Genomic inbreeding coefficients were estimated for 4984 animals using ~63,000 SNPs to assess inbreeding depression in four key traits: age at first calving (AFC) with

Accumulation of muscle ankyrin repeat protein transcript reveals local activation of primary myotube endcompartments during muscle morphogenesis [PDF]
The characteristic shapes and positions of each individual body muscle are established during the process of muscle morphogenesis in response to patterning information from the surrounding mesenchyme. Throughout muscle morphogenesis, primary myotubes are

Abstract Obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) reduces skeletal muscle quality and impairs the myogenic response to muscle damage. The present study investigated if differences exist in myotubes from individuals with (OB) or without (LN) obesity incubated in control (bovine serum albumin [BSA]) or obesogenic (Ob) medium, at baseline or in response to cardiotoxin ...

Prmt5 is a regulator of muscle stem cell expansion in adult mice. [PDF]
Skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSC), also called satellite cells, are indispensable for maintenance and regeneration of adult skeletal muscles. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the regulatory events controlling the fate of MuSC is missing.

Abstract Ageing negatively affects quality of life and healthspan, and interventions are needed to slow this progressive decline. Previously, we have demonstrated the potential functional benefits of combining a genetically modified probiotic (GMP) targeting the non‐canonical arm of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) with exercise training.

Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Culture conditions influence satellite cell activation and survival of single myofibers [PDF]
Single myofiber isolation protocols allow to obtain an in vitro system in which the physical association between the myofiber and its stem cells, the satellite cells, is adequately preserved.

Downregulation of microRNA‐494 drives mitochondrial biogenesis and function in trained muscle
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of cellular processes, including mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. This study explores the regulation of miR‐494 in skeletal muscle and circulation, investigating its response to exercise training and an acute exercise bout, its association with metabolic disorders, and the effects of ...
