Differentiating Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Clostridia with a Simple, Multiplex PCR Assay
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2017 Diverse members of the genus Clostridium produce botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), which cause a flaccid paralysis known as botulism. While multiple species of clostridia produce BoNTs, the majority of human botulism cases have been attributed to ...

Neurocardiology: Brain–Heart Interactions in the Heart
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.The heart and brain maintain systemic homeostasis through bidirectional communication involving neural, biochemical, and mechanical pathways. Dysregulation of these pathways contributes to a spectrum of conditions involving heart–brain interactions, including Takotsubo syndrome, the epileptic heart, stroke–heart syndrome, heart failure, cardiac ...

Synaptotagmin Binding to Botulinum Neurotoxins
Biochemistry, 2019 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are exceptionally toxic proteins that cause paralysis but are also extensively used as treatment for various medical conditions. Most BoNTs bind two receptors on neuronal cells, namely, a ganglioside and a protein receptor.

Cancer Neuroscience: From Local Neuro–Immune Microenvironments to Systemic Brain–Body Circuitry
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.This review outlines the cancer neuroscience paradigm, spanning systemic brain–body circuitry and local neuro–immune–tumor microenvironments. We discuss how tumors promote axonogenesis and pseudo‐synapse formation, and how sensory neuropeptides, such as CGRP, contribute to CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion.
