This study shows that laminin-α2 secreted by muscle stem cells is critical for their expansion and regeneration, and its loss leads to muscle stem cell dysfunction in LAMA2-related muscular dystrophy.

This study shows that muscle fiber Myc is not required for muscle growth but its overexpression disrupts muscle structure and function.

The paper uses single-nuclei RNA-sequencing to identify NMJ-specific transcripts and shows that Etv4 and Pdzrn4 contribute to NMJ stability through gene regulation and protein interactions.
