Cyanocobalamin (CNCbl, the compound name of Vitamin B12) is the only mineral vitamin that is essential for growth and development and cannot be produced by animals. Some studies have found that CNCbl can promote the proliferation and migration of C2C12 cells, but the mechanism by which it affects muscle development is still unknown. In this study, we elucidated the effect of CNCbl on muscle development and studied its underlying mechanism. CNCbl could promote the differentiation of C2C12 cells and upregulate Acvr1, p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 in the TGF-β signaling pathway . CD320 (the receptor in cell surface for binding with CNCbl transporter transcobalamin II) inhibition could reduce the uptake of CNCbl and significantly downregulate the expression of differentiation marker proteins MyoG and MYH2. Furthermore, the levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were also reduced with the inhibition of CD320, even though CNCbl was added to the C2C12 culture medium. In addition, the injection of CNCbl could accelerate the process of mouse muscle injury repair, enlarge the diameter of newly formed myofibers and upregulate the expression of MYH2, PAX7, CD320, Acvr1, p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 . These results suggest that CNCbl can promote muscle development and may play its role by regulating the expression of Acvr1, p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 related to the TGF-β signaling pathway.

Background: Facial palsy (FP) is a widespread condition affecting over 3 million people annually, with a complex etiology requiring tailored, multidisciplinary management. Despite advancements, there remains a lack of reliable, automated tools for objective pre- and postoperative assessment, limiting progress in treatment optimization. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM) to evaluate FP severity and outcomes following microsurgical gracilis muscle transfer.

Background: Clinical decisions regarding ankle-foot-orthosis stiffness in people with calf muscle weakness are based on immediate evaluations, not taking gait adaptation into account. This study examined adaptation of step length, walking speed and energy cost of walking in the 3-months post-provision and whether individuals with higher gait variability adapt more compared to individuals with lower gait variability.

Methods: We conducted a post-hoc analysis in eighteen stiffness-optimized ankle-foot-orthosis users with bilateral calf muscle weakness.

Unlabelled: Although exercise is medicine for outpatients with schizophrenia, it is unclear if one-year adherence-supported exercise leads to a "tipping point", at which the exercise becomes a routine manifested as life-long training in the patient group.

Methods: Forty-eight outpatients (28 men/20 women: 35 ± 11 (mean ± SD) years) with schizophrenia (ICD-10: F20-29) were randomised to: 1) collaborative care group (TG), performing aerobic interval (AIT; 4 × 4-min treadmill walking/running at ∼90 % peak heart rate) and leg press maximal strength training (MST; 4 × 4 repetitions at ∼90 % maximal strength [1RM]) 2d·wk. for 1-year, supported by transportation and training supervision; or 2) control group (CG).
