Allosteric Modulation of Pathological Ataxin‐3 Aggregation: A Path to Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type‐3 Therapies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a new allosteric site in the Josephin domain of ataxin‐3 targeted by the molecular tweezer CLR01, which modulates protein aggregation, improves synaptic function in neuronal cells, and delays motor dysfunction in animal models.

Transplantation of GABAergic Interneuron Progenitors Restores Cortical Circuit Function in an Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transplantation of medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) interneuron progenitors into APP/PS1 cortices restored the slow oscillation characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Donor cells survived, migrated, and matured into functional GABAergic interneurons, forming synaptic connections.

Real-world treatment management in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis – an experience report and proposal for therapy switch decision criteria

Neurological Research and Practice
Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis is a rapidly progressive and lethal disease. Thanks to the increasing number of disease-modifying treatments, prognosis has improved significantly.

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

Enhanced Sensitivity of a Modified Quaking‐Induced Conversion Diagnostic Test for the Broad Detection of Sporadic and Inherited Prion Diseases: A Retrospective Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

Decision tree analysis as a preliminary evidence‐based tool for identifying the syndrome of undifferentiated recurrent fever in children compared with hereditary recurrent fevers and periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis and adenitis syndrome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To develop evidence‐based criteria to classify SURF patients. Methods 112 SURF patients followed in a single tertiary referral center were analyzed. Patients with genetically confirmed hereditary recurrent fever (HRF) or with periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis and adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome already analyzed for the Eurofever classification

Hereditary amyloidosis [PDF]

Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1970
AbstractA review of hereditary amyloidoses is provided by papers from a 1969 international symposium on primary amyloidosis. These discussions allow comparison of the amyloid neuropathy with onset in the lower extremities (Portuguese‐Japanese families), the neuropathy with onset in the upper extremities (Indiana‐Maryland families), the neuropathy and ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

Artificial intelligence-enabled fully automated detection of cardiac amyloidosis using electrocardiograms and echocardiograms

Nature Communications, 2020
Patients with rare conditions such as cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are difficult to identify, given the similarity of disease manifestations to more prevalent disorders.
