Mechanism of myostatin action during satellite cell activation and muscle wasting. [PDF]
Myostatin, a Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily member, has been well characterised as a negative regulator of muscle growth and development.

Disuse‐induced muscle atrophy is driven by a non‐metabolic, nuclear function of the enzyme PFKFB3. Acting as a scaffold, PFKFB3 facilitates Nedd4‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation of the anti‐atrophy transcription factor JunB. Inhibiting this novel PFKFB3–Nedd4–JunB signaling axis stabilizes JunB and alleviates muscle wasting, revealing a highly ...

Superpulsed low-level laser therapy protects skeletal muscle of mdx mice against damage, inflammation and morphological changes delaying dystrophy progression. [PDF]
Aim: To evaluate the effects of preventive treatment with low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on progression of dystrophy in mdx mice. Methods: Ten animals were randomly divided into 2 experimental groups treated with superpulsed LLLT (904 nm, 15 mW, 700 Hz ...

A Piezo1/KLF15/IL-6 axis mediates immobilization-induced muscle atrophy
Although immobility is a common cause of muscle atrophy, the mechanism underlying this causality is unclear. We here show that Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) and IL-6 are upregulated in skeletal muscle of limb-immobilized mice and that mice with KLF15 ...

A Robust Bio‐Supportive Hydrogel Patch for Full‐Thickness Repair of Gastroesophageal Defects
Gastroesophageal defect repair remains a formidable clinical challenge plagued by high leakage and life‐threatening complications. We develop a double‐disc, highly crystalline PVA‐based RBS hydrogel patch featuring suture‐free sealing, robust acid/enzyme resistance and mechanical durability.

PGC-1alpha regulates the neuromuscular junction program and ameliorates Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]
The coactivator PGC-1alpha mediates key responses of skeletal muscle to motor nerve activity. We show here that neuregulin-stimulated phosphorylation of PGC-1alpha and GA-binding protein (GABP) allows recruitment of PGC-1alpha to the GABP complex and ...

Epigenetic control of skeletal muscle atrophy
Skeletal muscular atrophy is a complex disease involving a large number of gene expression regulatory networks and various biological processes. Despite extensive research on this topic, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive, and effective therapeutic

Sarcopenia has emerged as a major health challenge in the aging population. Developing a sustained‐release system for whey protein may enhance its effectiveness in mitigating sarcopenia. Herein, a novel “single‐protein particle encapsulation” (SPPE) system is developed to protect whey protein and control its release.

The effect of high-altitude on human skeletal muscle energetics: P-MRS results from the Caudwell Xtreme Everest expedition [PDF]
Many disease states are associated with regional or systemic hypoxia. The study of healthy individuals exposed to high-altitude hypoxia offers a way to explore hypoxic adaptation without the confounding effects of disease and therapeutic interventions ...
