m.10010T>C Mitochondrial Disease: A Case Report With Hypoparathyroidism and Review of the Literature

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria are essential intracellular organelles that play a critical role in cellular metabolism, including the regulation of intracellular calcium signaling. Advances in genomic sequencing have facilitated the identification of rare pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic variants in patients with unexplained endocrine disorders.

Muscarinic receptor signaling in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD

Respiratory Research, 2006
Anticholinergics are widely used for the treatment of COPD, and to a lesser extent for asthma. Primarily used as bronchodilators, they reverse the action of vagally derived acetylcholine on airway smooth muscle contraction.

A novel mouse model simulating C5 palsy after cervical surgery

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study establishes a reliable mouse model of permanent C5 palsy (post‐laminectomy complication) via dorsal approach, selectively severing the C5 anterior nerve root while preserving the posterior root through partial C4 and C5 laminectomy. The model successfully replicates clinical C5P features—flaccid shoulder paralysis, electrophysiological ...

Acetylcholine Receptors and Tau Phosphorylation

Current Molecular Medicine, 2006
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence, in the brain of the patients, of two aberrant structures: intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), containing an abnormal hyperphosphorylated form of tau protein, and extracellular senile plaques (SPs), mainly composed by fibrillar amyloid beta peptide.

Lateral Habenula contribution in Nicotine addiction : focus on Dopamine, GABA and Serotonin Interactions [PDF]

, 2011
Compelling evidence has shown a pivotal role of dopaminergic function in drug addiction. Recently, the Habenula (Hb) has attracted a great deal of attention as another target for nicotine in the brain because of its role in regulating dopamine (DA ...

Longitudinal Phenotypic Trajectories in GNAO1‐Related Disorders: Defining Disease Progression and Clinical Profiles

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Pathogenic variants in GNAO1 cause a spectrum of epilepsy, movement disorders, and developmental impairment. Clinical heterogeneity complicates prognosis and therapeutic development. We present the first longitudinal natural history study of GNAO1‐related disorders (GNAO1‐RD) to delineate phenotypic trajectories. Methods Sixty‐six individuals

Severe drug-induced repetitive behaviors and striatal overexpression of VAChT in ChAT-ChR2-EYFP BAC transgenic mice

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014
In drug users, drug-related cues alone can induce dopamine release in the dorsal striatum. Instructive cues activate inputs to the striatum from both dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons, which are thought to work together to support motor learning and ...
