Skeletal muscle is composed of a variety of tissue and non-tissue resident cells that participate in homeostasis. In particular, the muscle stem cell niche is a dynamic system, requiring direct and indirect communications between cells, involving local and remote cues. Interactions within the niche must happen in a timely manner for the maintenance or recovery of the homeostatic niche. For instance, after an injury, pro-myogenic cues delivered too early will impact on muscle stem cell proliferation, delaying the repair process. Within the niche, myofibers, endothelial cells, perivascular cells (pericytes, smooth muscle cells), fibro-adipogenic progenitors, fibroblasts, and immune cells are in close proximity with each other. Each cell behavior, membrane profile, and secretome can interfere with muscle stem cell fate and skeletal muscle regeneration. On top of that, the muscle stem cell niche can also be modified by extra-muscle (remote) cues, as other tissues may act on muscle regeneration via the production of circulating factors or the delivery of cells. In this review, we highlight recent publications evidencing both local and remote effectors of the muscle stem cell niche.

Primary mitochondrial disorders are most often caused by deleterious mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Here, we used a mitochondrial DddA-derived cytosine base editor (DdCBE) to introduce a compensatory edit in a mouse model that carries the pathological mutation in the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) alanine (mt-tRNA) gene. Because the original m.

Regeneration is the ability to accurately regrow missing body parts. The unparalleled regenerative capacity and incredible tissue plasticity of planarians, both resulting from the presence of abundant adult stem cells referred to as neoblasts, offer a unique opportunity to investigate the cellular and molecular principles underlying regeneration. Neoblasts are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into the desired cell types for correct replacement of lost parts after tissue damage.

Cell therapy of skeletal muscles is a promising approach for the prevention of muscular diseases and age-related muscle atrophy. However, cell transplantation to treat muscle atrophy that does not involve disease, such as sarcopenia, is considered impossible because externally injected cells rarely engraft into non-injured muscle tissue. Additionally, skeletal muscle-specific somatic stem cells, called satellite cells, lose their ability to adhere to tissue after being cultured and transforming into myoblasts.

In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), thrombolytic therapy and revascularization strategies allow complete recanalization of occluded epicardial coronary arteries. However, approximately 35% of patients still experience myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which contributing to increased AMI mortality. Therefore, an accurate understanding of myocardial I/R injury is important for preventing and treating AMI.
