The polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, skin changes (POEMS)
syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder of obscure pathogenesis associated with osteosclerotic …

Macrophages (MPs) are important for skeletal muscle regeneration in vivo and may exert
beneficial effects on myogenic cell growth through mitogenic and antiapoptotic activities in vitro…

Genetically engineered mice (Myf5 nLacZ/+ , Myf5 GFP-P/+ ) allowing direct muscle satellite
cell (SC) visualization indicate that, in addition to being located beneath myofiber basal …

Once escaped from the quiescence niche, precursor cells interact with stromal components
that support their survival, proliferation, and differentiation. We examined interplays between …

Macrophages are necessary for skeletal muscle regeneration after injury. Muscle recruits
inflammatory monocytes/macrophages that switch toward an anti-inflammatory profile upon …

1Statins inhibit synthesis of mevalonate, a precursor of ubiquinone that is a central
compound of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The main adverse effect of statins is a toxic …

In the fatal degenerative Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), skeletal muscle is progressively
replaced by fibrotic tissue. Here, we show that fibrinogen accumulates in dystrophic …

The polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M protein, skin changes (POEMS)
syndrome is a rare multisystemic disorder associated with osteosclerotic myeloma and …

There is considerable interindividual variability in motor function among patients with Duchenne
muscular dystrophy (DMD); moreover, pathogenetic mechanisms of motor dysfunction …

Mechanisms governing muscle satellite cell withdrawal from cell cycle to enter into quiescence
remain poorly understood. We studied the role of angiopoietin 1 (Ang1) and its receptor …
