Clinical heterogeneity in a family with flail arm syndrome and review of hnRNPA1‐related spectrum
Abstract Objective Flail arm syndrome (FAS) is one of the atypical subtypes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutations in hnRNPA1 encoding heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) A1 are a rare genetic cause of ALS. Herein, marked clinical heterogeneity of FAS in a pedigree with a known hnRNPA1 variant was described to raise early ...

There is an unmet need in metastatic breast cancer patients to monitor therapy response in real time. In this study, we show how a noninvasive and affordable strategy based on sequencing of plasma samples with longitudinal tracking of tumour fraction paired with a statistical model provides valuable information on treatment response in advance of the ...

The clinical spectrum of SMA‐PME and in vitro normalization of its cellular ceramide profile
Abstract Objective The objectives of this study were to define the clinical and biochemical spectrum of spinal muscular atrophy with progressive myoclonic epilepsy (SMA‐PME) and to determine if aberrant cellular ceramide accumulation could be normalized by enzyme replacement.

Real time detection of C reactive protein in interstitial fluid using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, towards wearable health monitoring [PDF]
Traditional detection methods of C-reactive protein (CRP) inflammation biomarker, in blood are expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Such existing point-of-care CRP detection devices remain invasive, since they need blood sampling (finger-pricking or venous puncture).

Germline variants in CDKN2A wild‐type melanoma prone families
Among melanoma‐prone families, wild‐type for CDKN2A and CDK4, some have pathogenic variants in genes not usually linked to melanoma. Furthermore, rare XP‐related variants and variants in MC1R are enriched in such families. Germline pathogenic variants in CDKN2A are well established as an underlying cause of familial malignant melanoma. While pathogenic

Using GANs for De Novo Protein Design Targeting Microglial IL-3R$α$ to Inhibit Alzheimer's Progression [PDF]
IL-3 is a hemopoietic growth factor that usually targets blood cell precursors; IL-3R is a cytokine receptor that binds to IL-3. However, IL-3 takes on a different role in the context of glial cells in the nervous system, where studies show that the protein IL-3 protects against Alzheimer's disease by activating microglia at their IL-3R receptors ...

Dual targeting of AKT and mTOR using MK2206 and RAD001 reduces tumor burden in an intracardiac colon cancer circulating tumor cell xenotransplantation model. Analysis of AKT isoform‐specific knockdowns in CTC‐MCC‐41 reveals differentially regulated proteins and phospho‐proteins by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Circulating tumor cells
