Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

Generation of a pluripotent embryonic stem cell TAFAZZIN hESC model (WAe009-A-3H) of Barth syndrome
Barth syndrome is among the most common mitochondrial diseases presenting with cardiomyopathy. We have generated a human embryonic stem cell (hESC) model of Barth syndrome (TAFAZZINΔ3 C15) in a female background (H9 hESC) using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing ...

This report expands the limited available data on type VIII 3‐methylglutaconic aciduria (MGCA8), a neurodegenerative disorder which involves biallelic pathogenic variants of HTRA2 gene. The mutation of this gene leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and altered apoptosis regulation, especially in the brain.

A Drosophila model of Barth syndrome [PDF]
Barth syndrome is an X-linked disease presenting with cardiomyopathy and skeletal muscle weakness. It is caused by mutations in tafazzin, a putative acyl transferase that has been associated with altered metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin. To investigate the molecular basis of Barth syndrome, we created

Mitochondrial membrane remodeling in stress adaptation: Lipid control of organelle quality
Abstract Mitochondria respond to proteotoxic stress through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, traditionally viewed as a transcriptional program that restores proteostasis by inducing chaperones and proteases. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial membrane remodeling constitutes an additional adaptive component of this response ...

Abstract This mixed‐methods study examines the experience of the impostor phenomenon in a racially/ethnically and sexually diverse sample of undergraduates in majors related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Guided by an intersectionality framework, we examined whether experiences of the impostor phenomenon differ at the ...

Summary Gastric outflow obstruction (GOO) occasionally requires surgical intervention in foals when medical management fails. Current literature lacks consensus on several surgical decisions, with most comprehensive reports dating back over a decade. Critical aspects—including jejunal loop orientation and necessity of jejunojejunostomy—remain debated ...

X Chromosome Inactivation in Carriers of Barth Syndrome [PDF]
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by cardiac and skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and short stature. A gene for BTHS, G4.5, was recently cloned and encodes several novel proteins, named "tafazzins." Unique mutations have been found.

ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is an Orthoflavivirus known for its teratogenicity and for causing congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in the offspring, but recent studies suggest a negative impact on maternal brain health and behavior following gestational ZIKV inoculation.
