Spinal Muscular Atrophy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by degeneration of alpha motor neurons resulting in hypotonia, progressive muscular weakness and atrophy.30 Spinal muscular atrophy is one of the leading hereditary causes of infant mortality,31 it comprises the second most common fatal progressive diseases after cystic fibrosis.28

ERB'S PRIMARY MUSCULAR ATROPHY. [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1896
Since Duchenne first described progressive muscular atrophy in adults and infants and regraded each form as of peripheral origin, the study of the clinical history and pathology of muscular dystrophies has only partially decided which are of muscular and which of spinal origin. We now believe that the hereditary form found during infancy and early life,

Permeation Enhancer‐based Ionogel Shows Remarkable Potential for Oral Insulin Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel formulation of decanoate in an ionic liquid inspired drug delivery system. The formulation demonstrates ideal physicochemical and material properties for oral peptide delivery. Findings indicate that choline decanoate (1:2 molar ratio) forms a viscoelastic gel that enables high oral bioavailability of insulin in rats ...

Biomarkers in spinal muscular atrophy

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
Spinal muscular atrophy is a hereditary disorder leading to severe neuromuscular impairment. With the introduction of disease-modifying therapies in recent years, the role of biomarkers has expanded from aiding diagnosis to monitoring treatment responses,

Therapeutic Implants: Mechanobiologic Enhancement of Osteogenic, Angiogenic, and Myogenic Responses in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on 3D‐Printed Titanium Truss

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates a synergistic effect between 3D‐printed surface features and mechanical micro‐strain in enhancing the osteogenic, angiogenic, and myogenic responses of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Load‐induced mechanotransduction, facilitated by the implant's architectural design, significantly amplifies hMSC differentiation.

Structural changes of lumbar muscles in non-specific low back pain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Lumbar muscle dysfunction due to pain might be related to altered lumbar muscle structure. Macroscopically, muscle degeneration in low back pain (LBP) is characterized by a decrease in cross-sectional area and an increase in fat infiltration ...

3D‐Printed Multidimensional Bionic Mg‐MC/PLGA Composite for Tailored Repair of Segmental Long Bone Defects

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops 3D‐printed Mg‐MC/PLGA scaffolds with varying Mg concentrations (0–20%). The 5% Mg scaffold shows optimal cytocompatibility, osteogenic activity in vitro, and significantly enhances bone regeneration in rabbits, improving bone volume and mechanical strength.
