This study identifies a muscle-to-bone signaling pathway where CX3CL1 from muscle endothelial cells promotes bone repair via CX3CR1-expressing osteoprogenitors.

The paper uses single-nucleus RNA-seq to identify two distinct populations of FSHD2 myotube nuclei with different transcriptional profiles related to DUX4 expression.

The paper uses intra-individual DNA methylation analysis in rat buccal cells to show that early-life adversity alters methylation patterns predictive of gene repression and upregulation of inflammation and cell-fate pathways.
