Local translational program at the muscle-tendon junction endows domain identity in muscle syncytia

The paper identifies local translational regulation at the muscle-tendon junction (MTJ) and shows that KLF-family transcription factors are translationally upregulated there, driving domain-specific gene expression.

Molecular characterization of the intact muscle spindle using a multi-omics approach

This study characterizes the molecular composition of the muscle spindle using transcriptomic and proteomic data, identifies differentiation stages, and validates markers through immunostaining.

Single-nucleus transcriptomics reveals functional compartmentalization in syncytial skeletal muscle cells

The paper uses snRNAseq to identify nuclear subtypes in skeletal muscle cells, revealing new compartments and functional signatures in dystrophic and regenerating muscle.
