Testosterone and long pulse width stimulation (TLPS) for denervated muscles after spinal cord injury: a study protocol of randomised clinical trial

BMJ Open, 2022 • September 14, 2022

This study protocol outlines a randomized clinical trial to investigate the effects of testosterone treatment (TT) combined with long pulse width stimulation (LPWS) on denervated muscles in individual...

KEY FINDING: The study hypothesizes that TT+LPWS will upregulate protein synthesis pathways, downregulate protein degradation pathways, and increase overall mitochondrial health in denervated muscles.

Sexually dimorphic estrogen sensing in skeletal stem cells controls skeletal regeneration

Nature Communications, 2022 • November 4, 2022

This study investigates the role of estrogen in skeletal regeneration, revealing a sexually dimorphic response in mice. Female mice depend on estrogen for skeletal stem cell (SSC) mediated bone regene...

KEY FINDING: Skeletal regeneration is sexually dimorphic: female mice require estrogen for skeletal stem cell-mediated bone regeneration, while male mice do not exhibit similar estrogen responsiveness.

DOCK3 regulates normal skeletal muscle regeneration and glucose metabolism

bioRxiv, 2023 • February 27, 2023

This study investigates the role of DOCK3 in skeletal muscle using a muscle-specific knockout mouse model. The researchers found that loss of DOCK3 in skeletal muscle leads to impaired muscle regenera...

KEY FINDING: Dock3 mKO mice presented with significant hyperglycemia and increased fat mass, indicating a metabolic role in the maintenance of skeletal muscle health.

Purinergic receptor P2Y12 boosts autoimmune hepatitis through hexokinase 2-dependent glycolysis in T cells

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2023 • July 9, 2023

This study demonstrates that purinergic receptor P2Y12 (P2RY12) plays a significant role in boosting autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) through hexokinase 2 (HK2)-dependent glycolysis in T cells. The research...

KEY FINDING: P2RY12 deficiency protects mice from ConA-induced immune hepatitis by reducing serum ALT and AST levels, blocking the increases of serum IFN-γ, IL-12p70, IL-6, and TNF-α, and decreasing serum IL-10.
