Objectives Nerve transfer is a promising intervention for restoring hand and upper limb function after cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), but the timeline of neurophysiological recovery in humans remains unclear. This study aimed to define recovery profiles after nerve transfers to restore upper limb function.

Five Issues of Artificial Intelligence in Science: Sailing the Ship of Theseus
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming part of the working infrastructure of academic medicine. Because grants convert scientific ideas into protected time, infrastructure, and institutional priority, they provide a revealing test case for AI's effects on biomedicine. Five issues are emerging: language, agency, review, doership, and identity.

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

Objective Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by deletions or mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene and subsequent reduction in the expression of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. The disease is characterized by degeneration of α motor neurons and subsequent muscle atrophy.

Genetic Modifiers of ABCA1 Activity Interact with APOE Isoforms to Mediate Alzheimer's Disease Risk
Objective ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the mechanisms by which it impacts disease risk are unknown. ABCA1 is known to bind apolipoprotein E (ApoE) and catalyze apolipoprotein lipidation.
