Expertise and Research Interests

http://www.biostr.washington.edu/reuvenilab/reuvenilab.html

Our research focuses on the regulation of myogenic stem cell function in adult life. Our long-term goal is to identify means to ameliorate age-related muscle deterioration (sarcopenia) and muscle wasting disorders associated with muscular dystrophy. We investigate satellite cells, classically defined skeletal muscle stem cells that reside beneath the myofiber basal lamina, as well as non-myogenic progenitors associated with the microvasculature that may contribute to myogenesis by myogenic reprogramming.

The following research areas are pursued:

* Mechanisms involved in supporting myogenic commitment and renewal of satellite cells. Emphasis is given to the genetic blue print of satellite cells from different muscle groups and the positional effect of the myofiber.

* Origin and significance of unconventional progenitors that may function to replace myonuclei during myofiber maintenance. Emphasis is given to the role of cells associated with the microvasculature, in particular the pericytes.

* Cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing to age-associated skeletal muscle adiposity and the role of exercise in combating sarcopenia.

* The role of FGF-FGFR system in regulating myogenesis of satellite cells. Special attention is presently given to the regulation of FGFR4 gene products at the transcriptional and translational levels and the interplay between FGFR4 and other regulatory factors during myogenesis.
