Emerging gene editing strategies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy targeting stem cells
The progressive loss of muscle mass characteristic of many muscular dystrophies impairs the efficacy of most of the gene and molecular therapies currently being pursued for the treatment of those disorders.

Pax3 and Pax7 are paired-box transcription factors with roles in developmental and adult regenerative myogenesis. Pax3 and Pax7 are expressed by postnatal satellite cells or their progeny but are down regulated during myogenic differentiation.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate axis: a new leader actor in skeletal muscle biology
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid involved in the regulation of biological processes such as proliferation, differentiation, motility and survival. Here we review the role of S1P in the biology and homeostasis of skeletal muscle.

The Role of Satellite Cells in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration—The Effect of Exercise and Age
The population of satellite cells (mSCs) is highly diversified. The cells comprising it differ in their ability to regenerate their own population and differentiate, as well as in the properties they exhibit.

Muscle stem cells contribute to long‐term tissue repletion following surgical sepsis
Background Over the past decade, advances in sepsis identification and management have resulted in decreased sepsis mortality. This increase in survivorship has highlighted a new clinical obstacle: chronic critical illness (CCI), for which there are no ...

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Distinct glial cell types of the vertebrate peripheral nervous system (PNS) are derived from the neural crest. Here we show that the expression of the Ets domain transcription factor Erm distinguishes satellite glia from Schwann cells beginning early in ...

Positional changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin and nucleoli in postmitotic Purkinje cells during murine cerebellum development [PDF]
Previous studies revealed changes of pericentromeric heterochromatin arrangements in postmitotic Purkinje cells (PCs) during postnatal development in the mouse cerebellum (Manuelidis, 1985; Martou and De Boni, 2000). Here, we performed vibratome sections

Histological analysis of the medial gastrocnemius muscle in young healthy children
IntroductionHistological data on muscle fiber size and proportion in (very) young typically developing (TD) children is not well documented and data on capillarization and satellite cell content are also lacking.AimsThis study investigated the ...
