A developmental and genetic classification for malformations of cortical development: update 2012. [PDF]
Malformations of cerebral cortical development include a wide range of developmental disorders that are common causes of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. In addition, study of these disorders contributes greatly to the understanding of normal brain

Biglycan : a multivalent proteoglycan providing structure and signals [PDF]
Research over the past few years has provided fascinating results indicating that biglycan, besides being a ubiquitous structural component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), may act as a signaling molecule.

Feasibility and tolerability of whole-body, low-intensity vibration and its effects on muscle function and bone in patients with dystrophinopathies: a pilot study. [PDF]
IntroductionDystrophinopathies are X-linked muscle degenerative disorders that result in progressive muscle weakness complicated by bone loss. This study's goal was to evaluate feasibility and tolerability of whole-body, low-intensity vibration (WBLIV ...

Pericytes in Muscular Dystrophies
The muscular dystrophies are an heterogeneous group of inherited myopathies characterised by the progressive wasting of skeletal muscle tissue. Pericytes have been shown to make muscle in vitro and to contribute to skeletal muscle regeneration in several animal models, although recent data has shown this to be controversial.

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.

A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

Fatigue in muscular dystrophies
Fatigue is a frequent complaint in muscular dystrophies but it is yet not well defined or studied. We have examined the issue of muscle fatigue in a series of molecularly defined muscular dystrophies. A greater fatigability is seen in muscular dystrophy patients and can be an acute or chronic status.

An integrated computational approach evaluating the binding between pre‐let‐7 microRNA and small‐molecule kinase inhibitors (SMKIs) revealed varied pre‐let‐7 binding affinities among the advanced SMKIs. The results justified the characterization of potential RNA targets for kinase inhibitors and small molecules with protein targets in general.
