Clinical and genetic characteristics of hereditary laminopathies

Анналы клинической и экспериментальной неврологии, 2017
Naminopathies belong to a wide allelic series of diseases caused by mutations of one gene, LMNA, encoding for protein lamin A/C. Different mutations in the LMNA gene cause autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive EmeryDreifuss muscular dystrophy ...

Targeting RANKL Prevents Bone Loss, Improves Muscle Function and Extends Lifespan in Progeroid Mice

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
Targeting of RANKL by genetic and pharmacological approaches ameliorates key features of the progeroid phenotype in Zmpste24−/− mice. RANKL intervention restores bone mass, improves muscle phenotype, and extends survival. These findings support further exploration of RANKL‐targeted therapies for Hutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome.

Atypical Progeria Primarily Manifesting as Premature Cardiac Valvular Disease Segregates with LMNA-Gene Variants

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Mutations in the LMNA-gene can cause a variety of ‘laminopathies’. These laminopathies are associated with a range of phenotypes, including disorders affecting the adipose tissue, peripheral nerves, the heart, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and ...

Multiscale Architecture and Mechanics of the Cell Nucleus: Implications for Disease, Bioengineering and Nanomedicine

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Nuclear mechanical properties are inherently scale‐dependent, arising from a hierarchical architecture that spans DNA, chromatin, the nuclear envelope, and condensates. Experimental techniques and theoretical models are integrated into a cohesive multiscale framework linking nanoscale structural features to organelle‐level mechanical behavior.

The role of LMNA in adipose: a novel mouse model of lipodystrophy based on the Dunnigan-type familial partial lipodystrophy mutation[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009
We investigated the role of LMNA in adipose tissue by developing a novel mouse model of lipodystrophy. Transgenic mice were generated that express the LMNA mutation that causes familial partial lipodystrophy of the Dunnigan type (FPLD2).

Profiling Co‐Occurrent Morphological Phenotypes and Their Degree of Expression Severity in Vacuolated Cells by Holo‐Tomographic Flow Cytometry and Fractal Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
HTFC gets 3D refractive index tomograms of flowing cells. Label‐free monocytes are engineered to express patterns of cytoplasmic vacuoles. From the tomogram, an efficient dimensionality reduction is operated. Interpretable features are extracted to classify the expression severity of phenotypes coexisting in each cell, visually represented by a seven ...

Looking at New Unexpected Disease Targets in LMNA-Linked Lipodystrophies in the Light of Complex Cardiovascular Phenotypes: Implications for Clinical Practice

Cells, 2020
Variants in LMNA, encoding A-type lamins, are responsible for laminopathies including muscular dystrophies, lipodystrophies, and progeroid syndromes. Cardiovascular laminopathic involvement is classically described as cardiomyopathy in striated muscle ...

Diversity of Nuclear Lamin A/C Action as a Key to Tissue-Specific Regulation of Cellular Identity in Health and Disease

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
A-type lamins are the main structural components of the nucleus, which are mainly localized at the nucleus periphery. First of all, A-type lamins, together with B-type lamins and proteins of the inner nuclear membrane, form a stiff structure—the nuclear ...

Nuclear dysfunction in aging and neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by a loss of neuronal function and structure, often in a region‐specific manner. Multiple factors contribute to neuronal dysfunction and death, including pathogenic protein buildup, protein mislocalization, and inflammation. Despite extensive research, the common mechanisms driving neurodegeneration

Single Cell Mechanics in Disease Progression

Small Science, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2026.
Cells transmit distinct mechanical forces through ECM adhesion and cell–cell junctions and actomyosin‐generated traction forces are transmitted to the substrate through integrin‐based focal adhesions. Mechanical signals are further transmitted to the nucleus via the LINC complex, connecting the cytoskeleton to the nuclear lamina. These forces integrate
