Muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) can differentiate into multiple lineages, including haematopoietic lineages. However, it is unknown whether MDSCs preserve their myogenic potential after differentiation into other lineages. To address this issue, we isolated from dystrophic muscle a population of MDSCs that express stem-cell markers and can differentiate into various lineages. After systemic delivery of three MDSC clones into lethally irradiated mice, we found that differentiation of the donor cells into various lineages of the haematopoietic system resulted in repopulation of the recipients' bone marrow. Donor-derived bone-marrow cells, isolated from these recipients by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), also repopulated the bone marrow of secondary, lethally irradiated, recipients and differentiated into myogenic cells both in vitro and in vivo in normal mdx mice. These findings demonstrate that MDSC clones retain their myogenic potential after haematopoietic differentiation.

Muscle degeneration is a common issue caused by rotator cuff tear (RCT) which significantly affects prognosis. Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) play a crucial role to prevent muscle degeneration after RCT. However, the pathological changes and detailed molecular mechanism underlying the myogenesis of MuSCs after RCT remain incomplete.

The post-transcriptional regulation of epigenetic modification is a hot topic in skeletal muscle development research. Both m6A modifications and miRNAs have been well-established as crucial regulators in skeletal muscle development. However, the interacting regulatory mechanisms between m6A modifications and miRNAs in skeletal muscle development remain unclear.

Background: Myogenic factor 6 (Myf6) plays an important role in muscle growth and differentiation. In aquatic animals and livestock, Myf6 contributes to improving meat quality and strengthening the accumulation of muscle flavor substances. However, studies on Myf6 gene polymorphisms in crustaceans have not been reported.

This study aimed to compare the effects of cochlear implantation（CI） on vestibular function in patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome（LVAS） and in patients with extremely severe deafness with normal inner ear structure. A total of 28 LVAS patients and 28 patients with normal inner ear structure who suffered from extremely severe deafness were selected. The parameters of caloric tests, bone conduction evoked cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials（cVEMP）, bone conduction evoked ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials（oVEMP） and video head impulse tests（v-HIT） were compared between the two groups before and after CI.
