Effects of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy on Ankle Joint Function in Patients With Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020
Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a neurosurgical technique performed to reduce muscle spasticity and improve motor functions in children with cerebral palsy (CP). In long term, muscle contractures were observed even after SDR.

Slow and Fast Muscle Fibers [PDF]

, 1966
On the basis of the clear-cut differentiation used in fast (twitch) and slow (tonic) muscles of the frog, both the fast E.D.L. and the slow soleus muscle should be considered twitch muscles.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

A Complete Expression Profile of Matrix-Degrading Metalloproteinases in Dupuytren’s Disease [PDF]

, 2007
Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a common fibrotic condition of the palmar fascia, leading to deposition of collagen-rich cords and finger contractions. The metzincin superfamily contains key enzymes in the turnover of collagen and other extracellular matrix ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Contracture of extensor hallucis longus after fracture of distal tibia and fibula: A case report

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Post-traumatic isolated big toe extensor contracture after tibiofibular fracture is uncommon and only a few cases have been reported. Major causes of it include anterior compartment syndrome, direct injury, entrapment or adhesion of the muscle or tendon ...
