Ultrasonographic assessment of the lateral pterygoid muscle for BoNT‐A injection
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.Abstract The upper head of the lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) is known to insert into the capsule of the temporomandibular joint and articular disc, and therefore its relationship with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) has been consistently suggested.

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

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 ...

Novel Botulinum Neurotoxins: Exploring Underneath the Iceberg Tip
Toxins, 2018 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs), the etiological agents of botulism, are the deadliest toxins known to humans. Yet, thanks to their biological and toxicological features, BoNTs have become sophisticated tools to study neuronal physiology and valuable ...

Harnessing Viral Proteases for Cellular and Molecular Engineering
Chemistry–Methods, EarlyView.Engineered viral proteases (VIPs) provide programmable control of protein function with high specificity and low toxicity. Integrated with chemogenetic and optogenetic modules, these VIP systems enable logic gate manipulation for targeted regulation of cell signaling, gene expression, protein secretion, and degradation, thereby offering versatile ...

A survey of traditional Iranian food products for contamination with toxigenic Clostridium botulinum
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2009 Summary: This study aimed to determine the rate of Clostridium botulinum contamination in some traditional Iranian food products (cheese, kashk and salted fish) and evaluate the efficacy of the mouse bioassay method in detection of C. botulinum toxins in
