Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2002 Abstract Motor neurone disease (MND), or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown aetiology. Progressive motor weakness and bulbar dysfunction lead to premature death, usually from respiratory failure. Confirming the diagnosis may initially be difficult until the full clinical features are manifest.

Co-occurrence of TDP-43 mislocalization with reduced activity of an RNA editing enzyme, ADAR2, in aged mouse motor neurons. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 TDP-43 pathology in spinal motor neurons is a neuropathological hallmark of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and has recently been shown to be closely associated with the downregulation of an RNA editing enzyme called adenosine deaminase ...

Motor Band Sign in Motor Neuron Disease: A Marker for Upper Motor Neuron Involvement
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 2022 ABSTRACT:Background and Objective:The prevalence and role of the motor band sign (MBS) remain unclear in motor neuron disease. We report the frequency of MBS in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), its correlation with clinical upper motor neuron (UMN) signs, and prognostic value in ALS.Methods:We conducted a ...

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1962 THE story of motor neurone disease goes back more than a hundred years, to the latter half of the igth century, and the days of the great clinical neurologists of France. Of the many famous names linked to this story three are pre-eminent: Charcot-physician and neuropathologist, and great teacher, who became even more renowned for his studies of ...

Stem Cells International, 2016 The Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2F (CMT2F) and distal hereditary motor neuropathy 2B (dHMN2B) are caused by autosomal dominantly inherited mutations of the heat shock 27 kDa protein 1 (HSPB1) gene and there are no specific therapies available yet.

Nature Communications, 2023 Insults to the developing cerebellum can cause motor, language, and social deficits. Here, we investigate whether developmental insults to different cerebellar neurons constrain the ability to acquire cerebellar-dependent behaviors. We perturb cerebellar

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We
