Skin‐Conformal Myography for Real‐Time Hand Tracking Using a Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensor Array

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A skin‐conformal wearable device based on laser‐induced graphene is developed for continuous strain measurement across the circumference of the forearm for gesture recognition and hand‐tracking applications. Post material optimization, the strain sensor array is integrated with a wearable wireless readout circuit for real‐time control of a robotic arm,

Upper trapezius electromyography aids in the early diagnosis of bulbar involvement in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yes, 2011
Electromyography (EMG), particularly measurements of the tongue or sternocleidomastoid, aids in the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and may be used to identify lower motor neuron lesions in the bulbar region.

VAPB/ALS8 interacts with FFAT-like proteins including the p97 cofactor FAF1 and the ASNA1 ATPase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: FAF1 is a ubiquitin-binding adaptor for the p97 ATPase and belongs to the UBA-UBX family of p97 cofactors. p97 converts the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis into conformational changes of the p97 hexamer, which allows the dissociation of ...

Toward a Behavioral Reserve Model in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Behavioral impairment is common in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and strongly affects autonomy, caregiver burden, and outcomes, yet predictors of vulnerability remain unclear. We investigated whether premorbid regulatory traits and socio‐educational exposures are associated with behavioral phenotypes in ALS within a behavioral reserve ...

AAD-2004, a potent spin trapping molecule and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 inhibitor, shows safety and efficacy in a mouse model of ALS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
While free radicals and inflammation constitute major routes of neuronal injury occurring in neurodegenerative diseases, neither antioxidants nor nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have shown significant efficacy in human clinical trials.

Neurotransmitter‐Defined Degeneration Patterns in Sporadic and C9orf72‐Associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Predilection to GABAergic, Serotonergic, Opioid, Glutamatergic, Endocannabinoid, and Microglial Systems—Implications for Therapy Development

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a markedly distinctive clinical and neuroradiological signature, with the preferential involvement of specific brain networks and the apparent sparing of others. The molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomical vulnerability have not been fully elucidated to date despite the potential ...

Dissecting the Molecular Mechanisms of Motor Neurone Disease in Yeast and Worms [PDF]

open access: yes
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is an enzyme responsible for intracellular breakdown of toxic reactive oxygen species in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Mutations in SOD1 are linked to the motor neurone disease Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with around ...

Blood SOD1 Activity in ALS Patients Receiving Tofersen Treatment

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The antisense oligonucleotide tofersen is the first disease‐modifying drug for SOD1‐related amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was approved because of its ability to reduce SOD1 protein and neurofilament levels. The effect of tofersen on SOD1 activity is unclear but of clinical relevance because homozygous SOD1 mutations, linked to ...
