Longitudinal interrogation of sympathetic neural circuits and hemodynamics in preclinical models

Victor Perez Puchalt, Jan Elaine Cuevas Soriano, Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Jordan Squair, Matthieu Pierre Gautier, Loïs Thomas Romain Mahe, Rémi Bernard René Hudelle, Suje Amir

Neurological disorders, including spinal cord injury, result in hemodynamic instability due to the disruption of supraspinal projections to the sympathetic circuits located in the spinal cord. We recently developed a preclinical model that allows the ident ...

Evidence for a neuromuscular circuit involving hypothalamic interleukin-6 in the control of skeletal muscle metabolism

Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne

Hypothalamic interleukin-6 (IL6) exerts a broad metabolic control. Here, we demonstrated that IL6 activates the ERK1/2 pathway in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH), stimulating AMPK/ACC signaling and fatty acid oxidation in mouse skeletal muscle. Bioinfo ...

A Tead1-Apelin axis directs paracrine communication from myogenic to endothelial cells in skeletal muscle

Bart Deplancke, Julie Marie Russeil, Umji Lee

Apelin (Apln) is a myokine that regulates skeletal muscle plasticity and meta-bolism and declines during aging. Through a yeast one-hybrid transcription factor binding screen, we identified the TEA domain transcription factor 1 (Tead1) as a novel regulator ...

Molecular Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Fate during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Aging

Sara Ancel

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the primary source of myogenic progenitors during muscle repair and are essential for the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Following myofiber injury, MuSCs transition from a quiescent to an activated state, ...

Products and methods for promoting myogenesis

Johan Auwerx, Martin Rainer Wohlwend

The present invention relates generally to the field of long non-coding RNAs and transcription factors and modulation of their expression for use in medicine and agriculture, such as the treatment and prevention of diseases associated with muscle atrophy a ...

Sphingolipids accumulate in aged muscle, and their reduction counteracts sarcopenia

Johan Auwerx, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Davide D'Amico, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Pirkka-Pekka Untamo Laurila, Martin Rainer Wohlwend, Peiling Luan, Qi Wang, Sébastien Robert Victor Herzig

Age-related muscle dysfunction and sarcopenia are major causes of physical incapacitation in older adults and currently lack viable treatment strategies. Here we find that sphingolipids accumulate in mouse skeletal muscle upon aging and that both genetic a ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Elezanumab, a human anti-RGMa monoclonal antibody, promotes neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurorecovery following a thoracic hemicompression spinal cord injury in non-human primates

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by loss of function, secondary to damaged spinal neurons, disrupted axonal connections, and myelin loss. Spontaneous recovery is limited, and there are no approved pharmaceutical treatments ...

Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders

Andreas Rowald

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...

Enhancing mitochondrial quality control to fight neuromuscular degeneration in aging and disease

Mario Romani

Loss of mitochondrial function and proteostasis typify aging and age-associated degenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and muscle aging. To date, no cure or preventive measure is available to manage these conditions. Alterations of cellular pro ...

Expertise-Related Differences in Wrist Muscle Co-contraction in Drummers

Steffen Alexander Herff

Background and Aim:Drumming requires excellent motor control and temporal coordination. Deploying specific muscle activation patterns may help achieve these requirements. Muscle activation patterns that involve reciprocal contraction of antagonist muscles ...
