Excitation-contraction (EC) coupling in skeletal muscle corresponds to the sequence of events through which muscle fiber contraction is triggered in […]
Abstract HSV is a DNA virus causing life-long latent infection in humans with multiple reactivations. Starting from the pioneering studies […]
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, […]
Skeletal muscle exhibits high capacity for regeneration after an injury that relies on resident stem cells. Muscle regeneration is tightly […]
During muscle regeneration following injury, muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells, leave their quiescent state and activate. MuSCs are […]
Abstract During muscle regeneration, the conversion of muscle stem cells to terminally differentiated myofibers requires multiple cell fate transitions. Each […]
Abstract We discovered that a subset of satellite cells in skeletal muscle are self-renewing stem cells that give rise to […]
