The transcription factor GATA6 selects the embryonic vessels that will be reorganized into the major thoracic arteries by promoting local differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells.

Unlike in early embryonic development, injured spinal cord and muscle in Xenopus laevis larvae recruit non-canonical Hedgehog signaling essential for their regeneration, while repressing Gli transcriptional activity.

microRNA-1 plays an essential role in the development and functioning of the heart by ensuring that genes for striated, rather than smooth, muscle are expressed there.

MYF5 and MYOD regulate rhabdomyosaroma growth and tumor-propagating potential, acting more than as passive markers retained from the target cell-of-origin during transformation.

Single myofiber ATAC-Seq provides assessment of chromatin accessibility of a single myofiber without the confounding effects of other cell types present in skeletal muscle.

The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, HES3, acts downstream of the PAX3-FOXO1 fusion oncogene to impair muscle differentiation and promote tumorigenesis in rhabdomyosarcoma, a childhood muscle cancer.
Lysine-specific demethylase-1 acts as an epigenetic barrier against glucocorticoid-induced atrophy and exercise-induced hypertrophy in skeletal muscle.
