SUMO-1 modification on K166 of polyQ-expanded ataxin-3 strengthens its stability and increases its cytotoxicity. [PDF]
Post-translational modification by SUMO was proposed to modulate the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3/Machado-Joseph disease (SCA3/MJD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by polyQ ...

Expanded ATXN3 CAG Repeat is Stable in Human Purkinje Cells
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an abnormally long polyglutamine‐encoding CAG repeat in the ATXN3 gene. Objectives We aimed to determine whether somatic expansion of the mutant ATXN3 (mATXN3) CAG repeat is present in the output cell of the cerebellar cortex, the Purkinje cell (PC), in ...

The Impact of Common Medications on Male Fertility: An Updated Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Background Compared with those of cytotoxic treatments, the potential effects of common medications on the fertility of men trying to conceive currently or planning to conceive in the future are less well described. The use of common medications may modify the gonadotropic axis, spermatogenesis, and epididymal maturation or alter male ...

Assessment of Bone Mineral Density of Patients with Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 [PDF]
Objective Machado-Joseph disease (MJD) is a spinocerebellar ataxia, and osteoporosis is a multifactor disease that may affect patients with neurologic conditions. The frequency of osteoporosis among MJD patients, however, has not been studied.

Adults with Long COVID exhibited impaired aerobic capacity and persistent endothelial dysfunction despite preserved myocardial function approximately 3 years after SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. The association between flow‐mediated dilation (FMD) and exercise capacity suggests a potential contribution of peripheral vascular dysfunction to exercise intolerance.
