The effects of idebenone on mitochondrial bioenergetics
We have studied the effects of idebenone on mitochondrial function in cybrids derived from one normal donor (HQB17) and one patient harboring the G3460A/MT-ND1 mutation of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (RJ206); and in XTC.UC1 cells bearing a premature stop codon at amino acid 101 of MT-ND1 that hampers complex I assembly. Addition of idebenone to

In Vitro Antioxidant Activity of Idebenone Derivative-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles
Idebenone (IDE) has been proposed for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases involving mitochondria dysfunctions. Unfortunately, to date, IDE therapeutic treatments have not been as successful as expected.

We report a 32‐year‐old female patient with SANDO syndrome (a subtype of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy), who carries two heterozygous POLG mutations: a novel c.3297G>C and a known c.1774C>T. The neuronal models expressing these mutations demonstrated mitochondrial dysfunction, thereby confirming their pathogenicity.

Does modulation of the endocannabinoid system have potential therapeutic utility in cerebellar ataxia? [PDF]
Cerebellar ataxias represent a spectrum of disorders which are, however, linked by common symptoms of motor incoordination and are typically associated with deficient in Purkinje cell firing activity and, often, degeneration. Cerebellar ataxias currently

Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare pediatric disease, presents numerous challenges when designing clinical trials, mainly due to the scarcity of available trial participants and the heterogeneity of disease progression. A quantitative clinical trial simulator (CTS) has been developed based on previously published five disease ...

Cardiovascular mitochondrial dysfunction induced by cocaine: biomarkers and possible beneficial effects of modulators of oxidative stress [PDF]
Cocaine abuse has long been known to cause morbidity and mortality due to its cardiovascular toxic effects. The pathogenesis of the cardiovascular toxicity of cocaine use has been largely reviewed, and the most recent data indicate a fundamental role of ...
