We propose and experimentally demonstrate real-time locating and speed measurement of fibre fuse by analysing the Doppler shift of reflected light using optical frequency-domain reflectometry (OFDR). Our method can detect the start of a fibre fuse within 200 ms which is equivalent to a propagation distance of about 10 cm in standard single-mode fibre. We successfully measured instantaneous speed of propagating fibre fuses and observed their subtle fluctuation owing to the laser power instability. The resolution achieved for speed measurement in our demonstration is 1 × 10(-3) m/s. We studied the fibre fuse propagation speed dependence on the launched power in different fibres. Our method is promising for both real time fibre fuse monitoring and future studies on its propagation and termination.

Through their myogenic activity, adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are crucial for the regeneration of striated skeletal muscle. Once activated, they proliferate, differentiate and then fuse to repair or form new muscle fibers (myofibers). Their progression through myogenesis requires a complex regulation involving multiple players such as metabolism, in particular via AMPK.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a pediatric onset disorder with poorly understood molecular causes and progression, making early diagnosis difficult. Circular RNAs are regulatory RNAs that show promise as biomarkers in various diseases but the role of circular RNAs in CP is beginning to be understood. This study identified the role of circNFIX in regulating the expression of myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C), an important transcription factor for sarcomere development.

Multinucleated skeletal muscle cells need to acquire additional nuclei through fusion with activated skeletal muscle stem cells when responding to both developmental and adaptive growth stimuli. A fundamental question in skeletal muscle biology has been the reason underlying this need for new nuclei in cells that already harbor hundreds of nuclei. Here we utilize nuclear RNA-sequencing approaches and develop a lineage tracing strategy capable of defining the transcriptional state of recently fused nuclei and distinguishing this state from that of pre-existing nuclei.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the circumferential fascia of the rectum to understand its anatomy and clinical significance, specifically using four cadaver specimens and 16 postoperative samples from rectal cancer patients.
- Key findings include the triangular structure of the mesorectum at the peritoneal reflection, the precise attachment points of Denonvilliers' fascia, and its relationship to surrounding structures like the seminal vesicles and prostate.
- The research highlighted the merging of the pre-hypogastric fascia with Denonvilliers' fascia and the formation of rectosacral fascia, contributing to our understanding of rectal innervation and surgical implications.

The Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest tendon of the human body. The knowledge of AT anatomy is a basic prerequisite for the successful treatment of acute and chronic lesions. The structure of the AT results from a complicated fusion of three parts: the tendons of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius and the soleus muscles.
