Molecular labeling, electrophysiology and calcium imaging have revealed a novel switching of neurotransmitter at the frog neuromuscular junction where motoneurons transiently release glutamate before acetylcholine at synapses on developing hindlimb muscles at the onset of metamorphosis.

LRRC8A is an essential component of a mechanoresponsive ion channel signaling complex that tunes skeletal muscle differentiation, muscle cell size, function and metabolic pathways to regulate adiposity and systemic glycemia.

Abl2 regulates myoblast proliferation, thereby controlling the size of the pool of myoblasts available for fusion, providing insight into mechanisms that control myofiber length and signaling between muscle and tendon.

Using multiple genetic reporter system in human pluripotent stem cells, a transcriptional database for human early myogenesis has been established.

Solvent shift assays such as solvent proteome profiling and solvent-PISA are valuable tools for identifying protein-ligand interactions on a proteome-wide scale and can be used to determine drug target engagement, which should benefit future drug discovery efforts.

Microcephaly-associated mutations disrupt microtubule-dependent WDR62 translocation from the Golgi complex to the mitotic spindle poles, impair mitotic progression, and alter neurogenic trajectories in patient induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived 2D and 3D models of human neurodevelopment.

PASK phosphorylates Wdr5 to trigger epigenetic changes at lineage specifying promoters resulting in transcriptional derepression and differentiation of stem or progenitor cells.

During axolotl spinal cord regeneration adult neural stem cells reactivate an embryonic neuroepithelial cell-like gene program that implements planar cell polarity to orient cell divisions, coupling polarized spinal cord growth with stem cell self-renewal.

Septin7 is described as a novel component of skeletal muscle cytoskeleton with essential roles in muscle development and the proper organization of the myofilaments and the mitochondrial network while its absence leeds to reduced force and skeletal deformities.

A user-friendly, and modular, 3D skeletal muscle culture assay enables iterative studies of murine muscle stem cell pool size regulation, functional heterogeneity, return to quiescence, and age-associated functional defects within a 96-well footprint.
