Organoid‐Like Neurovascular Spheroids Promote the Recovery of Hypoxic‐Ischemic Skin Flaps Through the Activation of Autophagy

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Highly sprouting organoid‐like neurovascular spheroids (NVUs) are developed, featuring cell‐loaded poly‐3‐hydroxybutyrate 4‐hydroxybutyrate(P34HB) porous microsphere cores embedded within Gelatin Methacryloyl. NVUs formed complex vascular plexuses and secreted extracellular matrix in vitro, simulating autologous nerves and blood interaction.

Rigidity and flexibility in protein-protein interaction networks: a case study on neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Mutations in proteins can have deleterious effects on a protein's stability and function, which ultimately causes particular diseases. Genetically inherited muscular dystrophies (MDs) include several genetic diseases, which cause increasing weakness in muscles and disability to perform muscular functions progressively.

Rapidly worsening bulbar symptoms in a patient with spinobulbar muscular atrophy

open access: yesNeurology International, 2013
X-linked spinobulbar muscular atrophy (Kennedy’s disease) affects muscles and motor neurons, manifesting as weakness and wasting of bulbar, facial, and proximal limb muscles due to loss of anterior horn cells in the brain and spinal cord.

A Shape-Based Functional Index for Objective Assessment of Pediatric Motor Function [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Clinical assessments for neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), continue to rely on subjective measures to monitor treatment response and disease progression. We introduce a novel method using wearable sensors to objectively assess motor function during daily activities in 19 patients with ...

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
