Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in skeletal muscle: A new frontier in muscle biology
Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a crucial biophysical process that enables dynamic compartmentalization within cells, gaining prominence in recent research on cellular organization. However, its implications for skeletal muscle—a vital tissue for movement and metabolic regulation—remain largely uncharted. This review highlights recent insights into LLPS's roles in other tissues while examining its potential functions in skeletal muscle development, regeneration, and disease. By synthesizing existing knowledge, we propose that exploring LLPS in skeletal muscle could uncover fundamental aspects of muscle physiology and offer innovative therapeutic avenues for muscle-related disorders. A deeper grasp of LLPS may thus transform our understanding and treatment of skeletal muscle pathologies.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.
