LARGE expression in different types of muscular dystrophies other than dystroglycanopathy

BMC Neurology, 2018
Background Alpha-dystroglycan (αDG) is an extracellular peripheral glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for both extracellular matrix proteins containing laminin globular domains and certain arenaviruses.

Genetics and the muscular dystrophies [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2000
Muscular dystrophy classification and diagnosis has been transformed over the 13 or so years since the cloning of the dystrophin gene (involved in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy). A child or adult presenting with a muscular dystrophy can now expect a precise diagnosis.

Optimization of CEST MRI Reporter Protein Design Using Cation‐Pi Networks

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A novel engineering approach can produce reporter proteins for cell and viral therapy tracking with unique magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signatures, detectable with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). We discover how cation‐π interactions between amino acid groups can help us fine‐tune magnetic resonance properties for noninvasive ...

Nuclear Entanglement: New Insights Into the Role of Cytoskeleton and Nucleoskeleton in Plant Nuclear Function

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Of the three types of cytoskeleton known in animals—actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments—only actin and microtubules exist in plants. Both play important roles in cellular shaping, organelle movement, organization of the endomembrane system, and cell signaling.

Evolving Real‐World Data and Evidence Use for New Drugs and Regenerative Medical Products Approvals in Japan—An Analysis of the 6‐Year Trend

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Several regulatory initiatives have been made to clarify the acceptability and requirements of real‐world data and real‐world evidence (RWD/E) for the benefit/risk assessment of new medical products in Japan. The objectives of this review were to characterize the use of RWD/E in regulatory applications of new medical products and to describe the ...

Value of muscle magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of muscular dystrophies related to the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2019
Background Dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC)-related muscular dystrophies may present similar clinical and pathological features as well as undetectable mutations thus being sometimes difficult to distinguish.

A Fast Path from Innovation to Safe and Effective Medicine

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Consistent progress in medicines development has allowed both for de novo treatment options and for the refinement of existing products that improve effectiveness or reduce harm. Nonetheless, unmet medical needs persist, particularly in rare diseases, pediatrics and underserved populations.
