A human specific lncRNA important for ribosomal biogenesis in skeletal muscle- reduced in people with type 2 diabetes.Latest from the team! @ilkesen.bsky.social @juleenrzierath.bsky.social Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Down-regulation of human-specific lncRNA TMEM9B-AS1 in skeletal muscle of people with type 2 diabetes affects ribosomal biogenesis
TMEM9B-AS1, down-regulated in type 2 diabetes, regulates ribosomal biogenesis in muscle by promoting IGF2BP1-MYC mRNA interaction.

How exercise changes metabolism via changes in methylation 👇!
Online now: Exercise-induced methylation of the Serhl2 promoter and implication for lipid metabolism in rat skeletal muscle.
Here we uncover a functional role for Serhl2 in transducing exercise-training effects in skeletal muscle lipid metabolism.
