in Skeletal Muscle: A Novel Regulator?

Skeletal muscle is a complex organ essential for locomotion, posture, and metabolic health. This review explores our current knowledge of , particularly in the development and function of skeletal muscle. expression originates from Pax7-positive satellite cells in skeletal muscle, peaks during around the third postnatal month, and is crucial for muscle fiber differentiation, fusion, growth, and regeneration.

ablation in skeletal muscle results in functional alterations.

, a gene expressed exclusively in the musculoskeletal system, was shown in previous in vitro studies to be a key regulator of myogenic differentiation and myofusion. Other studies also showed expression associated with skeletal muscle development and hypertrophy. However, its specific role in skeletal muscle function remains unclear.

Mustn1 ablation in skeletal muscle results in increased glucose tolerance concomitant with upregulated GLUT expression in male mice.

Glucose homeostasis is closely regulated to maintain energy requirements of vital organs and skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in this process. Mustn1 is expressed during embryonic and postnatal skeletal muscle development and its function has been implicated in myogenic differentiation and myofusion. Whether Mustn1 plays a role in glucose homeostasis in anyway remains largely unknown.

Cystic Glioblastoma: A Mimicker of Infection? A Case Report and Literature Review.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent malignant and aggressive type of glioma. Most cases of GBM present as a single solitary solid tumor; however, there are rare instances in which it may present as a cystic lesion. Here, we report an even rarer case of GBM presenting as bilateral multicystic lesions, mimicking infectious etiology.

The influence of substrate size upon pulling and gripping forces in parrots (Psittaciformes: Agapornis roseicollis).

The ability to securely grasp substrates of variable diameter is critical to arboreal animals. Arboreal specialists have emerged across several vertebrate lineages - including mammals, lizards and amphibians - and several attempts have been made to quantify their grasping performance, by measuring either gripping (i.e.
