First paper out from the lab: SIX1+PAX3+ identify a progenitor for myogenic lineage commitment from hPSCs journals.biologists.com/dev/…

SIX1+PAX3+ identify a progenitor for myogenic lineage commitment from hPSCs

Summary: This study defines specific steps to generate more robust and predictable myogenic cells from human pluripotent stem cells and explores the regulation of SIX1 in early myogenic commitment.

Thrilled to share our preprint. Interstitial macs unbiased clustering is due to conserved chemokine expression patterns, resembling T cell biology with cytokines 👇 IM-depleting 🐭showed their major role is orchestrating leukocyte recruitment in TLOs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to share our last work in collaboration with Jeff Dilworth @EpigeneticsYOW on the epigenetic-regulated loss of myogenic identity in DMD muscle stem cells. All made with human muscle stem cells! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Epigenetic control of myogenic identity of human muscle stem cells in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

In Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the absence of the subsarcolemmal dystrophin protein leads to repeated myofiber damages inducing cycles of muscle regeneration that is driven by muscle stem...

It's really important for new students to set up high risk experiments that may fail early in their graduate education. This is difficult, often expensive, but teaches the importance of background knowledge, planning, adequate controls, resilience, and leads to real learning.

Happy to share this methods paper in which we (in particular Jonas) describe the simultaneous isolation of muscle stem cells, fibro-adipogenic progenitos and macrophages from human skeletal muscle. journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Isolation and characterization of muscle stem cells, fibro-adipogenic progenitors, and macrophages...

Animal models clearly illustrate that the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass depends on the function and interaction of a heterogeneous population of resident and infiltrating mononuclear cells....
