Researcher: "Due to the heterogeneity of its nuclei, a single muscle cell can act almost like a tissue, which consists of a variety of very different cell types," explains Dr. Minchul Kim, a postdoctoral researcher in Birchmeier's team and one of the two lead authors of the study. "This enables the cell to fulfill its numerous tasks, like communicating with neurons or producing certain muscle proteins." Read More ›

Researcher: "Integrated stress response is like a city going through full lockdown," Yan said. "If you only have 10 cases, you don't want to come out and tell the city, 'Let's just hunker down and not do anything,' or shut down all the productivity.
