Handling a mature calcium signature through optogenetics improves the differentiation of primary murine myotubes

Charles-Albert Chapotte-Baldacci et al.

Summary: Calcium plays a crucial role in various cellular processes and especially in the myogenesis of skeletal muscle. This study demonstrates that controlling calcium activity through optogenetics can modulate the differentiation of muscle cells, leading to improved function of the muscle fibers.

Muscle repair after physiological damage relies on nuclear migration for cellular reconstruction

William Roman et al.

Summary: The study revealed that localized muscle injuries triggered by exercise activate a myofiber self-repair mechanism that is independent of satellite cells. A signaling cascade involving calcium, Cdc42, and phosphokinase C attracts myonuclei to the damaged site, accelerating sarcomere repair and delivering messenger RNA for cellular reconstruction. Myofiber self-repair is a cell-autonomous protective mechanism, offering an alternative model for understanding muscle architecture restoration in health and disease.

mRNA distribution in skeletal muscle is associated with mRNA size

Helena Pinheiro et al.

Summary: The majority of mRNAs in non-specialized regions of skeletal muscle are enriched around the nucleus of origin, while mRNAs encoding large proteins are spread throughout the cell, showing a size-dependent distribution pattern. This distribution is independent of nuclear dispersion, mRNA expression level and stability, and the characteristics of the encoded protein.
