Comparative analysis of microRNAs in bovine colostrum and neonatal calf blood

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non‐coding RNAs that participate in a wide range of biological processes. MiRNAs are present in high concentrations in colostrum, and these may be potentially transferred to newborn calves being fed colostrum.

CircHOMER1 in mediating porcine skeletal muscle development

BMC Genomics
Background Skeletal muscle serves as the principal source of high-quality protein in human nutrition. Recent studies indicate that circRNAs play key roles in myogenesis by acting as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs).

Overexpression of syndecan-4 inhibits myogenesis by regulating the expression of myogenic regulatory factors

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
Syndecan-4, a type of heparin sulfate proteoglycan, plays an important role in muscle development, regeneration, and maintenance. Although, the important effects of syndecan-4 on the regulation of myogenesis in mice, turkeys, and bovines have been ...

A Comprehensive Review of the Genetic Etiology and Management of Orofacial Clefts

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cleft lip (CL) and cleft palate (CP), collectively referred to as orofacial clefts (OFCs), are among the most common birth defects and can have significant effects on speech, nutrition, and physical and psychosocial development. Manifestation, classification, and treatment plans of OFCs are diverse and not standardized.

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration. [PDF]

, 2014
The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age-specific factors responsible for this phenomenon are largely unknown.

Shear‐Induced Anisotropic Supramolecular Gel Noodles for Improved Cell Guidance in Polarized Tissue Engineering

Small, EarlyView.
A simple two‐stage extrusion aligns supramolecular fibrils into 1D gel noodles. The residual pressure in the viscous pre‐gel drives the formation of a thin filament that is locked by Ca2+ cross‐linker into a highly anisotropic segment. The aligned noodles show enhanced tensile strength and guide myoblast elongation along the fiber, mimicking aligned ...

Skeletal muscle cells lacking the retinoblastoma protein display defects in muscle gene expression and accumulate in S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. [PDF]

, 1996
Viral oncoproteins that inactivate the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) family both block skeletal muscle differentiation and promote cell cycle progression.

Molecular Characterization of Non‐Specific Esophagitis Reveals a Distinct Non‐Eosinophilic Phenotype With Fibrotic Traits

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study comprehensively characterizes non‐specific esophagitis and elucidates eosinophil‐independent fibrosis mechanisms. NSE appears to be a distinct fibrotic phenotype of the esophagus, without any considerable overlap with GERD and other chronic inflammatory disorders such as EoE or lymphocytic esophagitis.

Myogenesis of Porcine Muscle Satellite Cells by Extracellular Matrix From Fibrotic Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Meat and Muscle Biology
Cultivated meat relies on the production of muscle tissue using cell culture techniques. Myogenesis is a cellular differentiation process in which muscle satellite cells (SC) transform into myoblasts, or myotubes.
