Enteric neuropathy and the vagus nerve: Therapeutic implications
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.Abstract Enteric neuropathies are characterized by abnormalities of gut innervation, which includes the enteric nervous system, inducing severe gut dysmotility among other dysfunctions. Most of the gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the vagus nerve, the efferent branches of which have close interconnections with the enteric nervous system and ...

Skin Biopsy as a Diagnostic Tool for ATTRv Amyloid Neuropathy in the UK
Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 30, Issue 3, September 2025.ABSTRACT Objective Gene silencing therapy for ATTRv has revolutionised treatment. In minimally symptomatic, early neuropathic disease, skin biopsy can aid in the diagnosis of ATTRv‐PN, assessing both amyloid deposition and IENFD. Our aim was to study the value of performing skin biopsies in the diagnosis of ATTRv‐PN in UK patients and to assess the ...

Cystatin C as Biomarker for the Evaluation of Renal Outcome in AL Amyloidosis
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 8, Page 1305-1313, August 2025.ABSTRACT Cystatin C (CysC) has emerged as a novel and potentially more reliable biomarker for the estimation of glomerular filtration in the general population in patients with various conditions. In AL amyloidosis, the current renal staging system and renal response criteria are based on proteinuria and creatinine‐based eGFR.
