This review highlights two key aspects: myoblast proliferation and the role of cilia in this process. Myoblasts, as muscle precursor cells, must undergo tightly regulated cycles of proliferation and differentiation to ensure proper muscle growth and function. Recent research has uncovered an essential role for primary cilia, hair-like sensory organelles on the cell surface, in modulating signaling pathways crucial to myogenesis. Cilium-mediated signaling appears to regulate various stages of myogenesis, including the control of myoblast differentiation. Furthermore, primary cilia undergo multiple cycles of formation and disassembly during myogenesis, presumably enabling detailed, context-dependent regulation of their functions. In particular, the regulation of myoblast proliferation through cell cycle control by primary cilia is an important topic that requires further investigation. By examining the interactions between primary cilia and myoblasts, this review aims to provide new insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving muscle development, with potential applications for understanding muscle-related diseases and advancing therapeutic strategies. Additionally, advancements in imaging and image analysis technologies have become indispensable for studying these processes at the cellular level.

Our results showed that kinesin frequently dissociated from microtubules under high ionic strength conditions. However, under conditions of both high ionic strength and crowding with polymers, the processive movement of kinesin persisted and increased in frequency.

This review examines recent advances in visualizing and tracking paracrine factors through four key stages: secretion from producing cells, diffusion through extracellular space, binding to target cells, and activation of intracellular signaling within target cells. Paracrine factor secretion can be directly visualized by fluorescent protein tagging to ligand, or indirectly by visualizing the cleavage of the transmembrane pro-ligands or plasma membrane fusion of endosomes comprising the paracrine factors. Diffusion of paracrine factors has been studied using techniques such as fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), fluorescence decay after photoactivation (FDAP), and single-molecule tracking. Binding of paracrine factors to target cells has been visualized through various biosensors, including GPCR-activation-based (GRAB) sensors and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) probes for receptor tyrosine kinases. Finally, activation of intracellular signaling is monitored within the target cells by biosensors for second messengers, transcription factors, and so on.

Fhod3, which is abundantly expressed in the heart, localizes to the center of sarcomeres and contributes to the regulation of the cardiac function, as evidenced by the fact that mutations in Fhod3 cause cardiomyopathy. However, the role of Fhod3 in skeletal muscle, another type of striated muscle, is unclear.
