Coordination between growth and division is a fundamental feature of cells. In many syncytia, cell growth must couple with multiple nuclear divisions in one cytoplasm. In the fungus, cell-cycle progression and hyphal elongation require condensates formed by the protein Whi3 in complex with distinct mRNA species.

Motivation: Skeletal muscle cells (skMCs) combine together to create long, multi-nucleated structures called myotubes. By studying the size, length, and number of nuclei in these myotubes, we can gain a deeper understanding of skeletal muscle development. However, human experimenters may often derive unreliable results owing to the unusual shape of the myotube, which causes significant measurement variability.

Generation of induced pluripotent cells (hiPSCs)-derived skeletal muscle progenitor cells (SMPCs) holds great promise for regenerative medicine for skeletal muscle wasting diseases, as for example Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Multiple approaches, involving ectopic expression of key regulatory myogenic genes or small molecules cocktails, have been described by different groups to obtain SMPC towards cell-transplantation as a therapeutic approach to skeletal muscle diseases. However, hiPSCs-derived SMPC generated using transgene-free protocols are usually obtained in a low amount and resemble a more embryonal/fetal stage of differentiation.

TNK2 is a ubiquitously expressed nonreceptor-type tyrosine kinase. TNK2 participates in tumorigenesis, and TNK2 activation has been found in various cancers; therefore, TNK2 is a promising target for cancer chemotherapy. While the TNK2 inhibitor XMD16-5 is highly selective, it inhibits cytokinesis at higher concentrations by targeting Aurora B kinase, a key enzyme for cell division.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is common in patients on long-term hemodialysis therapy.
Case Report: We report the case of a 48-year-old man on regular dialysis who presented with leg weakness as well as back pain and was diagnosed with secondary hyperparathyroidism and thoracic spine tumor.
