ABSTRACT Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a rare connective tissue disorder characterized by involvement of the cardiovascular, ocular, and musculoskeletal systems. Pathogenic variants in FBN1 cause most of the MFS cases; however, intellectual disability (ID) is rarely observed. A non‐consanguineous Pakistani family with four affected individuals was recruited.

Establishment of a biosafe murine model of skeletal tuberculosis using Mycobacterium smegmatis
This study developed a biosafe, accessible, and versatile murine model of bone TB using Mycobacterium smegmatis, a fast‐growing, nonpathogenic mycobacterial species with high genomic homology to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Three infection routes—subperiosteal calvarial injection, intratibial injection, and intracardiac (left ventricular) inoculation ...

ZSF1 lean rats – How healthy are they?
This study aimed to examine the health status, specifically the physiology and myocardial, vascular, and skeletal muscle function of lean ZSF1 rats by comparing them to age‐ and sex‐matched Wistar rats. Compared to Wistar controls, ZSF1 lean rats exhibited lower body weight, but showed increased heart, and skeletal muscle mass.
