Whole-body clearing, staining and screening of calcium deposits in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Skeletal Muscle, 2018
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal, X-linked genetic disorder. Although DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy, only two FDA-approved drugs were developed to delay its progression. In order to assess therapies for treating

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.

Blockade of ZMIZ1‐GATA4 Axis Regulation Restores Youthfulness to Aged Cartilage

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The blockade of ZMIZ1‐GATA axis can be an effective therapeutic approach for treating OA. Functional inhibition of the ZMIZ1‐GATA axis through K‐7174 has the effect of suppressing cartilage damage and cellular senescence at the chondrocyte and cartilage tissue levels.

Roles of Kdm6a and Kdm6b in Regulation of Mammalian Neural Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that Kdm6a plays key roles in repressing either peripheral nervous system (PNS) or central nervous system (CNS) axon regeneration, whereas Kdm6b is not involved in regulating CNS axon regeneration. Moreover, both demethylases are able to regulate CNS neuronal survival after injury, but with non‐overlapping mechanisms.

Polyplex Nanomicelle‐Mediated Pgc‐1α4 mRNA Delivery Via Hydrodynamic Limb Vein Injection Enhances Damage Resistance in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel approach for treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy using mRNA encoding PGC‐1α4. Nanomicelle‐delivered Pgc‐1α4 mRNA enhances muscle damage resistance and mitochondrial activity in dystrophic muscles. This study demonstrates the potential of mRNA therapy for neuromuscular diseases like Duchenne muscular dystrophy and highlights

Eps homology domain endosomal transport proteins differentially localize to the neuromuscular junction

Skeletal Muscle, 2012
Background Recycling of endosomes is important for trafficking and maintenance of proteins at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). We have previously shown high expression of the endocytic recycling regulator Eps15 homology domain-containing (EHD)1 ...

Dynamics of Cell Fate Decisions during Chemically Induced Multi‐Lineage Trans‐Differentiation at Single‐Cell Level

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A critical aspect of chromosomal remodeling in small molecule‐induced multilineage trans‐differentiation(iMT) is elucidated. A dynamic atlas spanning over 35 days profiles terminal trans‐differentiated cells, which reverted to a more youthful state. This study reveals parallels between iMT and other cell fate determination processes, emphasizing an ...

The application of deep convolutional neural networks to ultrasound for modelling of dynamic states within human skeletal muscle [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
This paper concerns the fully automatic direct in vivo measurement of active and passive dynamic skeletal muscle states using ultrasound imaging. Despite the long standing medical need (myopathies, neuropathies, pain, injury, ageing), currently technology (electromyography, dynamometry, shear wave imaging) provides no general, non-invasive method for ...

Targeted expression of heme oxygenase-1 in satellite cells improves skeletal muscle pathology in dystrophic mice

Skeletal Muscle
Background Adult muscle-resident myogenic stem cells, satellite cells (SCs), that play non-redundant role in muscle regeneration, are intrinsically impaired in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).

Defective angiogenesis in CXCL12 mutant mice impairs skeletal muscle regeneration

Skeletal Muscle, 2019
Background During muscle regeneration, the chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1) and the synthesis of some specific heparan sulfates (HS) have been shown to be critical.
