Pathological classification of equine recurrent laryngeal neuropathy [PDF]
Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) is a highly prevalent and predominantly left‐sided, degenerative disorder of the recurrent laryngeal nerves (RLn) of tall horses, that causes inspiratory stridor at exercise because of intrinsic laryngeal muscle ...

Recent studies have shown that fibrotic scar formation following cerebral ischemic injury has varying effects depending on the microenvironment. However, little is known about how fibrosis is induced and regulated after cerebral ischemic injury.

Mitofusin 2 Deficiency Affects Energy Metabolism and Mitochondrial Biogenesis in MEF Cells. [PDF]
Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), mitochondrial outer membrane protein which is involved in rearrangement of these organelles, was first described in pathology of hypertension and diabetes, and more recently much attention is paid to its functions in Charcot-Marie ...

Signalling Mechanisms Underlying Doxorubicin and Nox2 NADPH Oxidase-Induced Cardiomyopathy: Involvement of Mitofusin-2 [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The anthracycline doxorubicin (DOX), although successful as a first-line cancer treatment, induces cardiotoxicity linked with increased production of myocardial reactive oxygen species (ROS), with Nox2 NADPH oxidase-derived ...

Mitofusin 2-Deficiency Suppresses Mycobacterium tuberculosis Survival in Macrophages [PDF]
Apoptosis is an important host defense mechanism against mycobacterial infection. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating apoptosis during mycobacterial infection are not well known. Recent reports suggest that bacterial infection regulates mitochondrial fusion and fission in various ways.

ALS/FTD‐associated FUS activates GSK‐3β to disrupt the VAPB–PTPIP51 interaction and ER–mitochondria associations [PDF]
Defective FUS metabolism is strongly associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD), but the mechanisms linking FUS to disease are not properly understood.

Mitofusin-2 prevents skeletal muscle wasting in cancer cachexia
Cancer cachexia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite extensive research and clinical trials. The prominent clinical feature of cancer cachexia is the continuous loss of skeletal muscle that cannot be fully reversed by conventional nutritional support, and that leads to progressive functional impairment.

Mitofusin 2 maintains haematopoietic stem cells with extensive lymphoid potential [PDF]
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which sustain production of all blood cell lineages, rely on glycolysis for ATP production, yet little attention has been paid to the role of mitochondria. Here we show in mice that the short isoform of a critical regulator of HSCs, Prdm16 (refs 4, 5), induces mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), a protein involved in mitochondrial ...

Objective Cerebral ischemic stroke causes neuronal oxygen/energy deprivation, disrupting mitochondrial function including reduced membrane potential and bioenergetics, exacerbating neuronal injury. Mitochondrial defects are, therefore, a central neuropathological node and potential therapeutic target.

Endorepellin remodels the endothelial transcriptome toward a pro-autophagic and pro-mitophagic gene signature. [PDF]
Regulation of autophagy by proteolytically cleaved fragments of heparan sulfate proteoglycans is a novel and current research focus in tumor biology. Endorepellin is the C-terminal angiostatic fragment of the heparan sulfate proteoglycan perlecan and ...
