Targeting healthspan to optimally combat non-communicable disease in an aging world
Human lifespan and life expectancy have increased worldwide, but the number of years that we spend free of chronic or debilitating disorders, known as healthspan, has not shifted along with increased lifespan.

Treating cancer cachexia to treat cancer
Skeletal muscle wasting is a major component of cachectic states found in a variety of disease settings, including cancer. As increasing caloric intake often provides little benefit in combating muscle loss in cachectic patients, a major research focus ...

An updated C. elegans nuclear body muscle transcriptome for studies in muscle formation and function
The body muscle is an important tissue used in organisms for proper viability and locomotion. Although this tissue is generally well studied and characterized, and many pathways have been elucidated throughout the years, we still lack a comprehensive ...

High-dimensional single-cell cartography reveals novel skeletal muscle resident cell populations
Adult tissue repair and regeneration require the activation of resident stem/progenitor cells that can self-renew and generate differentiated progeny.

Vitamin D supplementation does not improve human skeletal muscle contractile properties in insufficient young males [PDF]
Vitamin D may be a regulator of skeletal muscle function, although human trials investigating this hypothesis are limited to predominantly elderly populations.

The glomerular filtration barrier (GFB) is the first step of blood filtration by the kidneys. The concerning increase of kidney diseases makes the development of new models essential. In this context, microphysiological glomerular filtration barriers focus on closely reproducing the physiological architecture of the in vivo GFB: podocytes, glomerular ...

Background Similar to replicating myoblasts, many rhabdomyosarcoma cells express the myogenic determination gene MyoD. In contrast to myoblasts, rhabdomyosarcoma cells do not make the transition from a regulative growth phase to terminal differentiation.

Membrane glucocorticoid receptors are localised in the extracellular matrix and signal through the MAPK pathway in mammalian skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]
A number of studies have previously proposed the existence of glucocorticoid receptors on the plasma membrane of many cell types including skeletal muscle fibres.

By fabricating and covalently assembling gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) porous microgels, a new class of granular hydrogel scaffolds with hierarchical porosity is developed. These scaffolds have a significantly higher void fraction than their counterparts made up of nonporous microgels, enhancing cell recruitment and tissue integration. This research may

STIM1 as a key regulator for Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal-muscle development and function
Stromal interaction molecules (STIM) were identified as the endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) Ca2+ sensor controlling store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and Ca2+-release-activated Ca2+ (CRAC) channels in non-excitable cells.
