Isolated head tremor

Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика
Isolated head tremor (IHT) is a pathological condition characterized by tremor of the head without dystonic posturing or tremor in other parts of the body. In the past, head tremor was commonly referred to as essential tremor because it is very common in

Noradrenaline release from permeabilized synaptosomes is inhibited by the light chain of tetanus toxin [PDF]

, 1992
Noradrenaline release from rat brain cortical synaptosomes permeabilized with streptolysin O can be triggered by μM concentrations of free Ca2+. This process was inhibited within minutes by tetanus toxin and its isolated light chain, but not by its heavy

Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

YAP1‐Driven Pathogenic Fibro‐Adipogenic Progenitors Secrete IL‐6 and FGF21 to Mediate Muscle‐Bone Crosstalk and Promote Bone Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibro‐adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) in atrophic muscle undergo YAP1‐driven pathogenic activation, secreting IL‐6 and FGF21 as bone‐catabolic myokines that mediate muscle‐bone crosstalk and promote bone loss. Genetic or pharmacological targeting of this YAP1‐FAP‐myokine axis rescues skeletal deterioration, identifying FAP‐derived myokines as therapeutic

Severe Headbanging Responsive to Levodopa in a Child With FOXP1 Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We report a 9‐year‐old female with FOXP1 syndrome due to a de novo in‐frame deletion in the FOXP1 gene. The child has a severe neurodevelopmental disorder including global developmental delay and autism spectrum disorder. At age 2, she developed severe headbanging, which was progressive and did not respond to multidisciplinary, behavioral ...
