Abstract Satellite cells (SC) are Pax7+ tissue resident muscle stem cells, essential for muscle regeneration. SC are therefore considered as […]

Abstract Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is initiated by the secretion of growth factors – […]

Abstract The intricate morphology and molecular identity of axons is maintained for decades, but also continuously adapts to changes in […]

Abstract Muscle cells are characterized by the presence of several nuclei regularly spaced beneath the plasma membrane. Whether this particular […]


Abstract Copy number changes in 16p11.2 contribute significantly to neuropsychiatric traits. Besides the 600 kb BP4-BP5 (breakpoint) CNV found in […]

Human cytogenetics is a discipline aimed at studying the structure and function of the chromosomes of our species. In the […]

Abstract Regeneration of tissue is intimately linked to function of the immune system. Although it is widely agreed that inflammatory […]

Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe childhood muscle disease characterized by the absence of dystrophin, a structural protein […]

Tissue repair after skeletal muscle injury is supported by various cells and notably by macrophages that orchestrate both the inflammatory […]

Abstract HSV is a DNA virus causing life-long latent infection in humans with multiple reactivations. Starting from the pioneering studies […]

Excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in skeletal muscle corresponds to the sequence of events through which muscle fiber contraction is triggered in […]

Abstract While the neuronal underpinnings of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are being unraveled, vascular contributions to these conditions remain elusive. […]

Abstract Skeletal muscle relies on mitochondria to produce energy needed for its contractility. Muscle mitochondria are also signaling hubs that […]

Abstract Motivational processes are under the critical influence of the ventral part of basal ganglia, comprising several interconnected nuclei (as […]

Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive X-linked monogenic myopathy. Mutations in the dystrophin gene result in a progressive, […]


Skeletal muscle regenerates ad integrum after a sterile acute injury thanks to satellite cells (muscle stem cells). Inflammation, and notably […]

Abstract The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been firstly discovered to be activated under metabolic stress conditions such as myocardial […]

The integrity of DNA is continuously challenged by a variety of endogenous and exogenous agents (e.g. ultraviolet light, cigarette smoke, […]
