ANGPTL8 in metabolic homeostasis: more friend than foe?

ANGPTL8 is an important cytokine, which is significantly increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity and metabolic syndrome.Many studies have shown that ANGPTL8 can be used as a bio-marker of these metabolic disorders related diseases, and the baseline ANGPTL8 level has also been found to be positively correlated with retinopathy and all-

Mesoangioblasts from Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Display in Vivo a Variable Myogenic Ability Predictable by their in Vitro Behavior

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most frequent inherited myopathy.We previously demonstrated that mesoangioblasts can be efficiently isolated from FSHD muscles, although their differentiation ability into skeletal muscle was variably impaired.This correlates with overall disease severity and degree of histopathologic abnor
