TLDR
It is shown that cross-antagonistic mechanisms of actions of MyoD and PPARγ, which are the master regulators of muscle and adipose differentiation, respectively, confer robustness to the integrity of cell differentiation.

Fat deposition and accumulation in the damaged and inflamed skeletal muscle: cellular and molecular players.

TL;DR: Findings about muscle resident mesenchymal cell differentiation in adipocytes are summarized and the molecular mediators involved in intramuscular adipose tissue deposition are recapitulates.

Composite macroH2A/NRF-1 Nucleosomes Suppress Noise and Generate Robustness in Gene Expression.

TL;DR: It is shown that composite nucleosomes containing mH2A and NRF-1 are stably positioned on gene regulatory regions and can buffer transcriptional noise associated with antiviral responses, and the strategic position and stabilization of mH 2A nucleosome in human promoters defines robust gene expression patterns.

Inherency of Form and Function in Animal Development and Evolution.

TL;DR: Cellular pattern formation, mediated by released morphogens interacting with biochemically responsive and excitable tissues, drew on inherent self-organizing processes in proto-metazoans to transform clusters of holozoan cells into animal embryos and organs.

Systematic Analysis of Known and Candidate Lysine Demethylases in the Regulation of Myoblast Differentiation

TL;DR: It is found that LSD1, via H3K4me1 demethylation, represses the master regulator of osteoblast differentiation RUNX2 to promote myogenesis in the C2C12 model system, which provides additional mechanisms by which lysine methylation signaling impacts on cell fate decisions.

Distinct and predictive chromatin signatures of transcriptional promoters and enhancers in the human genome.

TL;DR: Insight is given into the connections between chromatin modifications and transcriptional regulatory activity and a novel functional enhancer for the carnitine transporter SLC22A5 (OCTN2) is uncovered, providing a new tool for the functional annotation of the human genome.

The protein Id: A negative regulator of helix-loop-helix DNA binding proteins

TL;DR: It is proposed that HLH proteins lacking a basic region may negatively regulate other HLHprotein through the formation of nonfunctional heterodimeric complexes.

PRDM16 controls a brown fat/skeletal muscle switch

TL;DR: It is shown by in vivo fate mapping that brown, but not white, fat cells arise from precursors that express Myf5, a gene previously thought to be expressed only in the myogenic lineage.
