Cortistatin protects against intervertebral disc degeneration through targeting mitochondrial ROS-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Theranostics, 2020
Background: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common degenerative disease that can lead to collapse or herniation of the nucleus pulposus (NP) and result in radiculopathy in patients. Methods: NP tissue and cells were isolated from patients and

Portable Low‐Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aging population of people with HIV (PWH) raises heightened concerns regarding accelerated aging and dementia. Portable, low‐field MRI (LF‐MRI) is an innovative technology that could enhance access and facilitate routine monitoring of PWH.

Polyethylene microplastics transported to nucleus pulposus cells via macrophages-derived exosomes, and promote intervertebral disc degeneration through NAT10/SLC7A11 and ac4C modification

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) serves as the fundamental pathological basis for low back pain. Microplastics influence the organisms through exosomes-mediated communication.

Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;

Dorsolateral Cervical Cord T2 Hyperintensity in KIF1C‐Related Disease (Spastic Paraplegia 58): Two Long‐Duration Cases

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in KIF1C cause Spastic Paraplegia 58 (SPG58), typically presenting with cerebellar ataxia and spastic paraparesis. We report two unrelated patients with spastic paraparesis, cerebellar ataxia, and tremor. Whole‐exome sequence analysis identified novel homozygous variants in the motor domain of KIF1C (NM_006612.6): c.921G>A (

Microglia in Retinal Degeneration

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The retina is a complex tissue with multiple cell layers that are highly ordered. Its sophisticated structure makes it especially sensitive to external or internal perturbations that exceed the homeostatic range.

Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.
