Parasympathetic nervous system dysfunction, as identified by pupil light reflex, and its possible connection to hearing impairment [PDF]
Context Although the pupil light reflex has been widely used as a clinical diagnostic tool for autonomic nervous system dysfunction, there is no systematic review available to summarize the evidence that the pupil light reflex is a sensitive method to ...

The Alternative Choice of Constitutive Exons throughout Evolution [PDF]
Alternative cassette exons are known to originate from two processes exonization of intronic sequences and exon shuffling. Herein, we suggest an additional mechanism by which constitutively spliced exons become alternative cassette exons during evolution.

Human pluripotent stem cells as tools for high-throughput and high-content screening in drug discovery [PDF]
A significant bottleneck in drug discovery is the lack of suitable models for sensitive, reliable, and rapid assessment of lead molecules in preclinical stages of drug discovery.

Loss of Elp1 disrupts trigeminal ganglion neurodevelopment in a model of familial dysautonomia
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a sensory and autonomic neuropathy caused by mutations in elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1). FD patients have small trigeminal nerves and impaired facial pain and temperature perception.

Traumatic lingual ulceration in a newborn: Riga-Fede disease [PDF]
Riga Fede disease is a reactive mucosal disease as a result of repetitive trauma of the tongue by the anterior primary teeth during forward and backward movement. Although the aspect of the lesion might be impressive, its nature is relatively benign. The

The translational potential of human induced pluripotent stem cells for clinical neurology: The translational potential of hiPSCs in neurology [PDF]
The induced pluripotent state represents a decade-old Nobel prize-winning discovery. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are generated by the nuclear reprogramming of any somatic cell using a variety of established but evolving methods.

Elongator and codon bias regulate protein levels in mammalian peripheral neurons
Familial dysautonomia is linked to mutations in IKBKAP, a scaffolding protein for the Elongator complex, which regulates codon-biased gene translation in yeast. Here the authors show in mammalian neurons that IKBKAP loss alters expression of codon-biased

An Inversion Disrupting FAM134B Is Associated with Sensory Neuropathy in the Border Collie Dog Breed [PDF]
Sensory neuropathy in the Border Collie is a severe neurological disorder caused by the degeneration of sensory and, to a lesser extent, motor nerve cells with clinical signs starting between 2 and 7 months of age.
