Sex influences DNA methylation and gene expression in human skeletal muscle myoblasts and myotubes

Abstract Background Sex differences are known to impact muscle phenotypes, metabolism, and disease risk. Skeletal muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are important for muscle repair and to maintain functional skeletal muscle. Here we studied, for the first time, effects of sex on DNA methylation and...
