Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The orbicularis oculi muscle (OOc) is strongly associated with facial aging as its contraction causes the formation of crow's feet. Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) injection is a representative treatment targeting muscle. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the anatomical relationship between the OOc and the zygomaticus complex muscles, and ...

Botulinum neurotoxin X lacks potency in mice and in human neurons
mBioBotulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are a class of toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) and other species of Clostridia. BoNT/X is a putative novel botulinum neurotoxin identified through genome sequencing and capable of SNARE cleavage, but ...

Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Four Monoclonal Antibody Combination Against Botulinum C and D Neurotoxins. [PDF]
, 2019 Botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), the most poisonous substance known. BoNTs are also classified as Tier 1 biothreat agents due to their high potency and lethality.

Clostridium botulinum Type E Toxins Bind to Caco-2 Cells by a Different Mechanism from That of Type A Toxins [PDF]
, 2012 Cultured Clostridium botulinum strains produce progenitor toxins designated as 12S, 16S, and 19S toxins. The 12S toxin consists of a neurotoxin (NTX, 7S) and a non-toxic non-hemagglutinin (NTNH).

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Capsule Summary Bruxism and sweat‐induced facial blisters can affect patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) quality of life (QoL). We present the outcomes of orofacial BTX‐A infiltrations to treat these conditions. Three patients with severe RDEB, bruxism and microstomia received BTX‐A infiltrations (50U‐100U) in masseters and ...
