Abstract Background Equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy (RLN) is an economically important upper respiratory tract (URT) disease with a genetic contribution to risk, but genetic variants independent of height have not been identified for Thoroughbreds.

Activating AMPK improves pathological phenotypes due to mtDNA depletion
In a cellular model of mitochondrial disease characterized by progressive mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion, we found that advancing mitochondrial dysfunction triggers the early and specific activation of the mitochondria‐associated pool of AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of energy homeostasis.

Dual role for pannexin 1 at synapses: regulating functional and morphological plasticity
Abstract figure legend Pannexin 1 (PANX1) regulation of dendritic spines. The postnatal decrease in PANX1 expression could release key spine cytoskeleton‐regulating proteins enabling spine stabilization. Does the physiological decrease in neuronal PANX1 levels across brain development underlie dendritic spine maturation?

Exploring neuronal mechanisms of osteosarcopenia in older adults
Abstract figure legend The mechanosensitive osteocytic network within the bone matrix acts as a receptor and plays a crucial role in the functional adaptation of bone to mechanical loading. Through mechanotransduction, osteocytes convert mechanical impulses into electrical signals, which are transmitted via afferent nerves to sympathetic preganglionic ...

The synaptic vesicle cluster as a controller of pre‐ and postsynaptic structure and function
Abstract figure legend The synaptic vesicle cluster acts as a master regulator of synaptic structure and function, through various involvements in processes that range from synaptic initiation to plasticity and synaptic loss. Abstract The synaptic vesicle cluster (SVC) is an essential component of chemical synapses, which provides neurotransmitter ...

Membrane trafficking of synaptic adhesion molecules
Abstract figure legend Synaptic cellular adhesion molecules are surface transmembrane receptors that have been shown to internalize via endocytosis, and possibly also recycle, in a process that has been linked to the function and the turnover of the synaptic contact site.

A Diffusion MRI model for axonal damage quantification based on axial diffusivity reduction in axons: a Monte Carlo simulation study [PDF]
Axonal damage is the primary pathological correlate of long-term impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous work has demonstrated a strong, quantitative relationship between decrease in axial diffusivity and axonal damage. In the present work, we develop an extension of diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI) which can be used to quantify the ...

Abstract figure legend This study investigated the effects of volitional exercise on muscle health in the more severe D2.mdx model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We showed that 8–10 weeks of a relatively high volume of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in D2.mdx animals augmented select muscle mass and normalized ex vivo muscle force compared to ...

Main Points Loss of FMRP impairs human and rat oligodendrocyte (OL) morphology in vitro. FMRP‐deficient OLs show impaired maturation when engrafted in hypomyelinated mice. Rat Fmr1 knockout OLs show a delay in myelin sheath formation in vivo. ABSTRACT The Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein (FMRP) is an RNA binding protein that regulates the ...

Abstract Preclinical diffusion MRI (dMRI) has proven value in methods development and validation, characterizing the biological basis of diffusion phenomena, and comparative anatomy. While dMRI enables in vivo non‐invasive characterization of tissue, ex vivo dMRI is increasingly being used to probe tissue microstructure and brain connectivity.
