Characterization of Cyclo His-Pro for the prevention and treatment of liver disease and muscular dystrophy

The natural compound Cyclo Histidine-Proline (CHP) was initially discovered in the brain, but thereafter evaluated in the context of diabetes because of its hypoglycemic action. The pharmacokinetics and the toxicological profile of CHP showed it can be dos ...

Integration of feedforward and feedback control in the neuromechanics of vertebrate locomotion: a review of experimental, simulation and robotic studies

Auke Ijspeert

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying mechanisms requires an integrative approach. Comparative experimental biology has ...

Brain-controlled spinal cord stimulation to restore mobility after spinal cord injury

Carmina Andrea Galvez Solano

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) affects almost 500,000 people every year, causing complete paralysis of both legs in severe cases, with no current treatment perspective. However, new neuroengineering technologies, such as the Brain Spine Interface (BSI), have eme ...

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

Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Eduardo Rochete Ropelle, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne, Barbara Moreira Crisol

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, Maria Deak, Sonia Karaz, Umji Lee, Julie Marie Russeil, Benjamin D. Cosgrove

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 ...

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 ...

Trans-anethole Induces Thermogenesis via Activating SERCA/SLN Axis in C2C12 Muscle Cells

Sulagna Mukherjee

Recently, adaptive non-shivering thermogenesis has attracted considerable attention because it can elevate energy expenditure and help treat obesity. Despite the numerous reports related to UCP1-driven thermogenesis, little is known regarding UCP1-independ ...

Sphingolipids accumulate in aged muscle, and their reduction counteracts sarcopenia

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

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 ...
