Cracking the Code: Genotype–Phenotype Correlation Models in Sarcoglycanopathies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Sarcoglycanopathies are among the most severe limb‐girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD), though milder presentations have been described. These diseases are primarily caused by missense variants, but the limited predictability of their effect on protein maturation, complex formation, and transport has hindered reliable genotype ...

Cathelicidins—Therapeutic antimicrobial and antitumor host defense peptides for oral diseases

open access: yesJapanese Dental Science Review, 2011
The oral epithelium functions as a mechanical and protective barrier to resist bacterial infection. Several types of host defense peptides (HDPs), including defensins, cathelicidins, and histatins, may have important roles in innate host defense.

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Association Between Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis and Target Glycemic Control in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly affects individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and is associated with increased risk of diabetes‐related complications. To better understand potential mechanisms, we examined the association between symptomatic knee OA and glycemic control in individuals with T2DM.

LL-37 preferentially accumulates in infected epithelial cells, activating caspase-1 via a P2X7R- and FPRL-1-independent mechanism.

open access: yes, 2019
NHBE cells were exposed for 3 hours to media only (control), 20 μg/ml LL-37 only, PAO1/ heat killed PAO1/ P. aeruginosa strain T3SS at 10:1 MOI +/- 20 μg/ml LL-37, or PAO1 supernatant +/- 20 μg/ml LL-37.

New Onset of Fibromyalgia After Exposure to a Combat Environment: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Traumatic life events are hypothesized to be triggers for the onset of fibromyalgia. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common comorbidity of fibromyalgia. However, limited prospective data are available on the development of fibromyalgia after exposure to high‐magnitude stress.
