Pericytes are endothelial-associated cells that contribute to vessel wall. Here, we report that
pericytes may derive from direct conversion of committed skeletal myoblasts. When exposed …

Schizotypy phenotypes in the general population share etiopathogenic mechanisms and risk
factors with schizophrenia, supporting the notion of psychosis as a continuum ranging from …

During mouse skeletal muscle development, the Nfix gene has a pivotal role in regulating
fetal-specific transcription. Zebrafish and mice share related programs for muscle development…

Histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) is a class 1 histone deacetylase and a member of the cohesin
complex. HDAC8 is expressed in smooth muscles, but its expression in skeletal muscle …

Cell polarity has a fundamental role in shaping the morphology of cells and growing tissues.
Polarity is commonly thought to be established in response to extracellular signals. Here we …

Cachexia, a condition that kills about one-fifth of cancer patients, may be linked to Rb—a
protein that is already linked to various cancers—moving from the cell nucleus to the …

Sh is a metaprogramming library that can dynamically generate stream processing code for
both GPUs and CPUs [1]. We are extending the semantics of its stream processing model. …

The molecular processes underlying fate cell decision of mesoderm progenitors are not fully
understood yet. Here two different mesoderm-derived cell types are studied to gain …

The transcription factor Nfix regulates fetal-specific transcription in developing murine
skeletal muscle, as previously demonstrated by our group. Zebrafish and murine muscle …

The skeletal muscle tissue in amniotes is formed by different classes of myogenic precursors
that act in different steps: embryonic myoblasts, fetal myoblasts and satellite cells. The …
