Muscle regeneration

upin mice1

1 study
  1. LANCL1 improves muscle regeneration in mice.

    “delayed regeneration of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle after injury, as reflected by reduced sizes of regenerating myofibers at day 7 after injury in middle-aged (but not young) LTKO compared to age-matched WT mice”

PI3K–AKT signalling

upin mice1

1 study
  1. LANCL1 activates PI3K–AKT signalling in mice.

    “LanCL1 is a positive regulator of AKT activity, and LanCL1 overexpression restores the impaired AKT activity in ALS model mice.”

Motor neuron loss

downin mice1

1 study
  1. LANCL1 prevents motor neuron loss in mice.

    “Conversely, CNS-specific deletion of LanCL1 leads to neurodegenerative phenotypes, including motor neuron loss, neuroinflammation, and oxidative damage.”
