    Quantification of localized NAD+ changes reveals unique specificity of NAD+ regulation in the hypothalamus

    Recently, it has become a consensus that systemic decreases in NAD+ are a critical trigger for age-associated functional decline in multiple tissues and organs. The hypothalamus, which contains several functional...

    Ribonucleotide reductase M2B in the myofibers modulates stem cell fate in skeletal muscle

    The balance among quiescence, differentiation, and self-renewal of skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) is tightly regulated by their intrinsic and extrinsic properties from the niche. How the niche controls MuS...

    Modulation of sensorimotor cortical oscillations in athletes with yips

    The yips, an involuntary movement impediment that affects performance in skilled athletes, is commonly described as a form of task-specific focal dystonia or as a disorder lying on a continuum with focal dysto...

    The ubiquitin–proteasome system in regulation of the skeletal muscle homeostasis and atrophy: from basic science to disorders

    Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant and highly plastic tissues. The ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS) is recognised as a major intracellular protein degradation system, and its function is important fo...

    Metabolomic Analysis of Skeletal Muscle in Aged Mice

    Sarcopenia is the age-induced, progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. To better understand changes in skeletal muscle during sarcopenia, we performed a metabolomic analysis of skeletal muscle i...

    Histone H3.3 sub-variant H3mm7 is required for normal skeletal muscle regeneration

    Regulation of gene expression requires selective incorporation of histone H3 variant H3.3 into chromatin. Histone H3.3 has several subsidiary variants but their functions are unclear. Here we characterize the ...
