Skeletal muscle regeneration is a finely tuned process involving the activation of various
cellular and molecular processes. Satellite cells, the stem cells of skeletal muscle, are …

The applications of Western/immunoblotting (WB) techniques have reached multiple layers
of the scientific community and are now considered routine procedures in the field of …

Exercise induces expression of the myokine irisin, which is known to promote browning of
white adipose tissue and has been shown to mediate beneficial effects following exercise …

The fusion of myoblasts into multinucleate syncytia plays a fundamental role in muscle
function, as it supports the formation of extended sarcomeric arrays, or myofibrils, within a …

Muscle atrophy complicates many diseases as well as aging, and its presence predicts both
decreased quality of life and survival. Much work has been conducted to define the …

Myoblast fusion is a critical process that contributes to the growth of muscle during
development and to the regeneration of myofibers upon injury. Myoblasts fuse with each …

Myoblast fusion into myotubes is one of the crucial steps of skeletal muscle development
(myogenesis). The fusion is preceded by specification of a myogenic lineage (mesodermal …

Circular RNA (circRNA) is a kind of novel endogenous noncoding RNA formed through back-
splicing of mRNA precursor. The biogenesis, degradation, nucleus–cytoplasm transport …

Myogenesis is a complex and tightly regulated process, the end result of which is the
formation of a multinucleated myofibre with contractile capability. Typically, this process is …

Regeneration of injured adult skeletal muscle involves fusion of activated satellite cells to
form new myofibers. Myomaker is a muscle-specific membrane protein required for fusion of …
