Molecular biology of distal muscular dystrophies—Sarcomeric proteins on top [PDF]

, 2007
During the last 10 years several muscular dystrophies within the group of distal myopathies have been clarified as to the molecular genetic cause of the disease.

Cell and Gene Therapies Manufacturing Challenges and Integrated Good Manufacturing Practices Solutions: A Lifecycle Perspective

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Lifecycle perspective on cell and gene therapy manufacturing challenges and enabling GMP solutions. ABSTRACT Cell and gene therapies (CGTs) are revolutionizing modern medicine; however, making these advanced medicines scalable and readily available to commercial manufacturers worldwide is a major challenge. The number of approved CGT products continues

Misregulation of the Ubiquitin–Proteasome System and Autophagy in Muscular Dystrophies Associated with the Dystrophin–Glycoprotein Complex

Cells
The stability of the sarcolemma is severely impaired in a series of genetic neuromuscular diseases defined as muscular dystrophies. These are characterized by the centralization of skeletal muscle syncytial nuclei, the replacement of muscle fibers with ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2007
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is caused by a cascade of epigenetic events following contraction of the polymorphic macrosatellite repeat D4Z4 in the subtelomere of chromosome 4q. Currently, the central issue is whether immediate downstream effects are local (i.e., at chromosome 4q) or global (genome-wide) and there is evidence for both ...

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Cardiomyopathies and Arrythmias in Neuromuscular Diseases

Cardiogenetics
Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) encompass various hereditary conditions affecting motor neurons, the neuromuscular junction, and skeletal muscles. These disorders are characterized by progressive muscle weakness and can manifest at different stages of life,

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Increased Insulin Action, Glucose Metabolism and Muscle Function in Supervillin‐Knockout and Supervillin‐Mutant Mice

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...
