A medaka mutant revealed that Wnt11 promotes formation of uniquely large protrusions from non-myogenic dorsal dermomyotome cells, which guide the epaxial myotome dorsally to achieve the coverage of the neural tube.

Structures of OSCA1.2, a member of a newly characterized family of mechanically activated ion channels, provide insights into mechanism of channel gating by membrane tension.

Biochemical analysis on hetero-mutated c₁₀ subunits ring and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate the cooperation among c-subunits of F_oF₁-ATP synthase in rotation-coupled proton translocation.

The homomeric structure of human SWELL1 (LRRC8A) provides insights into properties of a novel chloride channel family.

Shared complexities of backbone segmentation between cartilaginous fishes and tetrapods originate much earlier in vertebrate evolution than previously thought.

In contrast to amniotes, zebrafish (ray-finned fish, teleost) centra are formed from specialised notochord sheath cells, and the segmental patterning of these cells is independent of the segmentation clock.

In chick skeletal muscle, an incoming signal leads to two interdependent outcomes: a cell fate change and an epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Depending upon the parameters used, neuromuscular stimulation can have beneficial or deleterious impacts on muscle structure and function in an animal model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Combining global and local force measurements of reconstituted muscle tissue using a new chamber system that is compatible with high-resolution microscopy shows mechanical homeostasis already within a week.

Mathematical and experimental characterization of DUX4 expression dynamics in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy muscle fibers, provides insights into pathology and open-source tools for in silico investigation of anti-DUX4 therapy.
