Upper Cervical Cord Area as a Biomarker of Conversion to Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study assessed whether upper cervical cord area (UCCA) measured on routine brain MRI can serve as a biomarker of conversion to SPMS. Methods This is a single‐center retrospective cohort study of RRMS patients with cross‐sectional and longitudinal analyses of clinical and MRI data. Future SPMS converters were matched by age, sex,

Targeting Supramolecular Active Complexes of Nav1.7/Nav1.8 to Relieve Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice and patients with severe chronic neuropathic pain (NP), Nav1.7, Nav1.8, TrkB, and five cytoskeletal proteins form supramolecular active complexes (SMACs) with polygonal lattice structures as noxious signal amplifiers in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

Wireless, Adaptable and Fully Implantable Battery‐powered Devices for Optical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord in Small Rodents

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current technologies for spinal cord optogenetic stimulation rely on external power sources and face reliability constraints in freely behaving animals. Here, a fully implantable, battery‐powered optoelectronic device is introduced, enabling operation in any selected environment with wireless recharging for months‐long stimulation.

The Homozygous p.(Arg215Ter) Variant in XRCC2 Is Associated With Atypical Fanconi Anemia Without Major Hematological Abnormalities in Childhood

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fanconi Anemia (FA) is the most frequent inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. A role for the XRCC2 gene in FA was suspected in 2012 and confirmed in 2016, but only two affected individuals have been described thus far, and no long‐term follow‐up is available.
