Endothelial tissue remodeling induced by intraluminal pressure enhances paracellular solute transport

J. Cacheux, A. Bancaud, D. Alcaide, J.-i. Suehiro, Y. Akimoto, H. Sakurai, Y. T. Matsunaga

This study shows that intraluminal pressure increases paracellular solute transport in endothelial tissues by causing structural remodeling and thinning of junctions.

Hit-and-run silencing of endogenous DUX4 by targeting DNA hypomethylation on D4Z4 repeats in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

M. Sasaki-Honda, T. Jonouchi, M. Arai, J. He, K. Okita, S. Sakurai, T. Yamamoto, H. Sakurai

This study uses hit-and-run silencing to suppress DUX4 in FSHD patient-derived iPSCs by targeting DNA hypomethylation on D4Z4 repeats, achieving sustained suppression for at least two weeks.

Skeletal muscle releases extracellular vesicles with distinct protein and miRNA signatures that accumulate and function within the muscle microenvironment

S. Watanabe, Y. Sudo, S. Kimura, K. Tomita, M. Noguchi, H. Sakurai, M. Shimizu, Y. Takahashi, R. Sato, Y. Yamauchi

This study identifies markers for skeletal muscle-derived extracellular vesicles (SkM-EVs) and shows they mainly function within the muscle microenvironment rather than contributing significantly to plasma EVs.

Simple and efficient differentiation of human iPSCs into contractible skeletal muscles for muscular disease modeling

R. Muhammad Irfanur, T. Ito, D. Shimojo, K. Arimoto, K. Onodera, R. Okada, T. Nagashima, K. Yamamoto, Z. Khatun, H. Okano, H. Sakurai, K. Shimizu, M. Doyu, Y. Okada

This study develops a bulk differentiation method for MYOD1-hiPSCs to generate contractile skeletal muscles, improving efficiency and reducing clonal variation compared to clonal methods.
