Quantitative proteomic analysis shows that recessive Ryr1 mutations not only decrease the content of RyR1 protein in muscle, but also affect the content of many other proteins involved in a variety of biological processes.

Muscle fiber growth during development is controlled by the Hippo pathway that links the assembly state of the contractile sarcomeres with the transcriptional state of the sarcomeric genes.

Genetic and biochemical evidence shows that the basal transcription machinery of muscle cells invariably relies on TBP/TFIID because TBP2 is not expressed in muscle cells, and thus resolves a longstanding issue raised by previous conflicting data.
Bulk and single-cell RNA-seq data demonstrated that muscle stem cells express low levels of canonical endothelial cell markers, including VEGFA receptors, and VEGFA-FLT1 pathway has a drastic effect on muscle stem cell survival through AKT1 in vitro and in vivo.

Novel human iPS cell derived and primary skeletal muscle stem cells show that abnormal ACVR1 activation increases osteogenic/ECM gene expression and impairs myofiber repair, while revealing muscle-specific regenerative properties.

A developmental transcriptomics resource from Drosophila flight muscles quantifies the transcriptional dynamics during muscle morphogenesis and identifies three ordered phases of sarcomere morphogenesis.
A near-linear relationship between electrical stimulus duration and resultant joint torque in stick insects has been unveiled, enhancing control strategies in biohybrid robotics.

The role of Isthmin-1 in muscle function is defined by using phosphoproteomics to identify distinct and overlapping signaling pathways between Isthmin-1 and insulin.
Evolutionary loss of foot muscle in a bipedal rodent shares similarities with skeletal muscle atrophy, which is typically considered a pathological response to injury or disease.
