Mitochondrial dysfunction, cause or consequence in neurodegenerative diseases?
Endolysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunctions are major pathological hallmarks in neurodegeneration. In healthy neurons, lysosomes maintain mitochondrial health through membrane contact sites and local translation. In disease, failing lysosomal degradation compromises mitophagy, activating cGAS‐STING leading to further congestion and immune responses ...

Disrupted autophagy undermines skeletal muscle adaptation and integrity [PDF]
This review assesses the importance of proteostasis in skeletal muscle maintenance with a specific emphasis on autophagy. Skeletal muscle appears to be particularly vulnerable to genetic defects in basal and induced autophagy, indicating that autophagy ...

An update on autophagy disorders
Abstract Macroautophagy is a highly conserved cellular pathway for the degradation and recycling of defective cargo including proteins, organelles, and macromolecular complexes. As autophagy is particularly relevant for cellular homeostasis in post‐mitotic tissues, congenital disorders of autophagy, due to monogenic defects in key autophagy genes ...

A founder variant in the RYR1 gene is associated with hyperCKemia, myalgia and muscle cramps
Abstract Background and purpose Pathogenic variants in the RYR1 gene have been associated with a variety of conditions, ranging from congenital myopathy to adult manifestations. Our aim was to characterize the p.Leu2286Val variant in 17 Basque patients, to accurately determine its correlation with clinical features and to explore the possible founder ...

We describe a three‐year‐old girl with an unusual c‐terminal binding protein 1 (CTBP1) gene variant. She presented with features of hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay and tooth enamel defect syndrome (HADDTS), following numerous chest infections, poor weight gain and delayed motor development during the early years.

myomiR-dependent switching of BAF60 variant incorporation into Brg1 chromatin remodeling complexes during embryo myogenesis [PDF]
Myogenesis involves the stable commitment of progenitor cells followed by the execution of myogenic differentiation, processes that are coordinated by myogenic regulatory factors, microRNAs and BAF chromatin remodeling complexes.
