Molecule Linked To Muscle Maturation, Muscle Cancer

Cancer researchers have discovered that a molecule implicated in leukemia is also important in muscle repair and rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer caused proliferating immature muscle cells. The study shows that immature muscle cells require the molecule miR-29 to mature, and that the molecule is nearly missing in rhabdomyosarcoma cells. The findings should give a better understanding of muscle repair and development, and of rhabdomyosarcoma, and could lead to new treatments for muscle diseases.
