Interleukin-15 (IL-15), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced mainly by skeletal muscle cells, macrophages and epithelial cells. Recent research has demonstrated that IL-15 is closely related to the functions of bone and skeletal muscle in the locomotor system. There is growing evidence that exercise, an important means to regulate the immune and locomotor systems, influences IL-15 content in various tissues, thereby indirectly affecting the function of bones and muscles. Furthermore, the form, intensity, and duration of exercise determine the degree of change in IL-15 and downstream effects. This paper reviews the structure, synthesis and secretion of IL-15, the role of IL-15 in regulating the metabolism of bone tissue cells and myofibers through binding to the IL-15 receptor-α (IL-15Rα), and the response of IL-15 to different types of exercise. This review provides a reference for further analyses of the role and mechanism of action of IL-15 in the regulation of metabolism during exercise.

Objectives: Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) are nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) functioning as transcription factors. There are three RXR isoforms: RXRA (NR2B1), RXRB (NR2B2), and RXRG (NR2B3). RXRs serve as master regulators of gene networks governing cell growth, differentiation, survival, and death.

Hydatidosis is an infection caused by the helminth . The liver and lungs are the most frequently affected organs, primarily due to their roles in filtering blood. Primary hydatidosis of the skeletal muscles is an exceedingly rare condition, often asymptomatic, which can lead to its misdiagnosis as a more common soft tissue tumour.

Skeletal muscle (SKM) has crucial roles in locomotor activity and posture within the body and also functions have been recognized as an actively secretory organ. Numerous bioactive molecules are secreted by SKM and transported by extracellular vesicles (EVs), a novel class of mediators of communication between cells and organs that contain various types of cargo molecules including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. SKM-derived EVs (SKM-EVs) are intercellular communicators with significant roles in the crosstalk between SKM and other organs.

Aim: Pancreatic β-cells are susceptible to inflammation, leading to decreased insulin production/secretion and cell death. Previously, we have identified a novel triceps-derived myokine, DECORIN, which plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle-to-pancreas interorgan communication. However, whether DECORIN can directly impact β-cell function and susceptibility to inflammation remains unexplored.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the influence of multifidus muscle fat infiltration on clinical outcomes in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) undergoing percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 224 patients who underwent lateral PELD, with complete one-year follow-up data. Patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative MRI evaluation of L4 multifidus muscle fat infiltration: a mild group (< 25%) and a severe group (≥ 25%).
