Metformin enhances differentiation and function of skeletal muscle in models of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD)

Joshua Greig, Jiani Qian, Philipp Heher, Peter S. Zammit

This study shows that Metformin improves muscle differentiation and function in FSHD models by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing metabolic health.

Senescent myoblasts exhibit ROS-dependent Akt-mTORC1 dysregulation and are susceptible to reductive stress-induced cell death.

Vladimir Belhac, Alex Dillingham, Emilia Coward, Bradley Teal, Mark C. Turner, Stephanie D. Gagnon, Jiani Qian, Harry Wilford, Ella Warren, Natalie Moger, Bernadette Carroll, Owen G. Davies, Hannah F. Dugdale, Neil R. W. Martin

This study identifies ROS-dependent Akt-mTORC1 dysregulation in senescent myoblasts and shows antioxidants can suppress inflammation and promote differentiation but also induce cell death.
