Light‐Controlled Modulation of 15‐Lipoxygenase‐1 Regulates Intestinal Inflammatory Signaling
The developed target‐guided strategy enables the rational design of diazo‐based photoswitchable inhibitors of 15‐lipoxygenase‐1. Distinct molecular architectures program opposite light‐dependent activity, allowing on‐demand control of enzyme inhibition.

Harmonizing results of ataxia rating scales: mFARS, SARA, and ICARS
The ever‐increasing body of ataxia research provides opportunities for large‐scale meta‐analyses, systematic reviews, and data aggregation. Because multiple standardized scales are used to quantify ataxia severity, harmonization of these measures is ...

Diagnosing Friedreich's ataxia [PDF]
Clinical diagnosis is still of the utmost importance and following our review of cases diagnosed using the strict criteria, 100% were homozygous for the expansion. However, now that there is a relatively simple direct genetic test, the diagnosis can be considered in more unusual cases.
