gene expression, protein synthesis, degradation and post-translational modifications …

Introduction Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), caused by a lack of the functional
structural protein dystrophin, leads to severe muscle degeneration where the patients are …

Folic acid, a water soluble B vitamin, plays an important role in cellular metabolic activities,
such as functioning as a cofactor in one‐carbon metabolism for DNA and RNA synthesis as …

DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic modification for mammalian development and is
crucial for the establishment and maintenance of cellular identity. Traditionally, DNA …

Hibernating mammals conserve energy in the winter by undergoing prolonged bouts of
torpor, interspersed with brief arousals back to euthermia. These bouts are accompanied by …

Skeletal muscle regeneration is an efficient stem cell-based repair system that ensures
healthy musculature. For this repair system to function continuously throughout life, muscle …

Skeletal muscle myogenesis is a sophisticated process controlled by genetic and epigenetic
regulators. In animals, one of the key enzymes for the DNA demethylation of 5 …

Honeybees produce royal jelly (RJ) from their cephalic glands. Royal jelly is a source of
