Skeletal muscle tissue is characterized by restrained self-regenerative capabilities, being ineffective in relation to trauma extension both time span (e.g., chronic diseases) and size large trauma). For these reasons, engineering and/or cellular therapies represent a valuable solution the cases where physiological healing process failed. Satellite cells, putative skeletal stem have been first explored remedy insufficient self-regeneration capacity. Nevertheless, some limitation related...
Inflammatory memory or trained immunity is a recently described process in immune and non-immune tissue resident cells, whereby previous exposure to inflammation mediators leads faster stronger responses upon secondary challenge. Whether muscle injury associated with altered subsequent by satellite cells (SCs), the stem not known. We used mouse model of repeated injury, which intramuscular cardiotoxin (CTX) injections were administered 50 days apart order allow for full recovery injured...
Chronic cardiac muscle inflammation and subsequent fibrotic tissue deposition are key features in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). The treatment of choice for delaying DMD progression both skeletal corticosteroids, supporting the notion that chronic heart plays a pivotal role fibrosis dysfunction. Nevertheless, considering adverse effects associated with long-term corticosteroid treatments, there is need novel anti-inflammatory therapies. In this study, we used our recently described...
<title>Abstract</title> Sarcoglycanopathies are heterogeneous proximo-distal diseases presenting severe muscle alterations. These caused by mutations in genes coding for one of the four sarcoglycan transmembrane proteins, which form complex (SGC). Little is known about different roles SGC beyond dystrophin glycoprotein (DGC) structural role. Here, we show that proteins enriched at post-synaptic membrane neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Using a mouse model lacking beta-sarcoglycan subunit,...
SUMMARY Striated muscle is a highly organized structure composed by well-defined anatomical domains with integrated but distinct assignments. So far, the lack of direct correlation between tissue architecture and gene expression has limited our understanding how each unit responds to physio-pathologic contexts. Here, we show combined use spatially resolved transcriptomics immunofluorescence can bridge this gap enabling unbiased identification such characterization their response external...
