On noxious desmin: functional effects of a novel heterozygous desmin insertion mutation on the extrasarcomeric desmin cytoskeleton and mitochondria [PDF]
Recent studies in desmin (-/-) mice have shown that the targeted ablation of desmin leads to pathological changes of the extrasarcomeric intermediate filament cytoskeleton, as well as structural and functional abnormalities of mitochondria in striated muscle. Here, we report on a novel heterozygous single adenine insertion mutation (c.5141_5143insA) in

Efficacy of exon-skipping therapy for DMD cardiomyopathy with mutations in actin binding domain 1
Exon-skipping therapy is a promising treatment strategy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the DMD gene encoding dystrophin, leading to progressive cardiomyopathy. In-frame deletion of exons 3–9 (Δ3–9),

Pregnancy in Desmin-Related Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
The course of desmin-related restrictive cardiomyopathy (DRCM) during pregnancy has not been described previously because of the rarity of the condition. Following an episode of heart failure antecedent to conception, a 28-year-old primigravida with DRCM presented to establish prenatal care during the first trimester. Prenatal management consisted of β-

Desmin and CD31 immunolabeling for detecting venous invasion of the pancreatobiliary tract cancers.
Although venous invasion (VI) is a poor prognostic factor for patients with pancreatobiliary tract cancers, its histopathologic characteristics have not been well described.
