Elevated precontractile calcium set point is sustained by limited PMCA1 export in dystrophic muscle

Damiano Marchiafava, Kiley Hughes-Wiles, Wolfgang Stein…·Andrés G Vidal-Gadea

The paper shows that dystrophic muscle has an elevated precontractile calcium set point sustained by limited PMCA1 export in C. elegans and human myoblasts.

Fibrillin-Related Proteins Control Calcium Homeostasis in Dystrophic Muscle Across Species

Damiano Marchiafava, Andres Gabriel Vidal-Gadea

This study shows that fibrillin-related proteins regulate calcium homeostasis in dystrophic muscle across species, linking ECM integrity to calcium control.

Muscular expression of pezo-1 differentially contributes to swimming and crawling production in the nematode C. elegans.

Adina Fazyl, Mackenzie Jones, Damiano Marchiafava…·Andres Gabriel Vidal-Gadea

This study investigates the role of PEZO-1 in C. elegans body wall muscles, showing it differentially affects crawling and swimming by modulating calcium dynamics and muscle activation.
