Severity of effect considerations regarding the use of mutation as a toxicological endpoint for risk assessment: A report from the 8th International Workshop on Genotoxicity Testing (IWGT)

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure levels without appreciable human health risk may be determined by dividing a point of departure on a dose–response curve (e.g., benchmark dose) by a composite adjustment factor (AF). An “effect severity” AF (ESAF) is employed in some regulatory contexts.

Functional characterization of orbicularis oculi and extraocular muscles [PDF]

, 2016
The orbicularis oculi are the sphincter muscles of the eyelids and are involved in modulating facial expression. They differ from both limb and extraocular muscles (EOMs) in their histology and biochemistry. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscles is a

Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Thorax, 1999
In their recently published paper Simonds et al 1 importantly emphasised the desirability of using non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) rather than tracheostomy for optimising quality of life in patients with hypercapnic Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and suggested that the use of nocturnal nasal IPPV can help to prolong ...

New insights into applications of base editor in hereditary disorders

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hereditary disorders are a group of diseases caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal variations. Although the incidence of each genetic disorder is relatively low, patients affected by the disease generally experience a range of severe symptoms, including blindness, disability, and even premature death. In addition, the available treatments

Illuminating Satellite Cells: Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy for 3D Imaging of Murine Skeletal Muscles Damaged by Ex Vivo Forced Eccentric Contraction

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
This study presents the light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) as a tool for 3D‐imaging of whole skeletal muscle to reveal satellite cells (SCs), the muscle stem cells that activate following damage to repair injured tissue. After tissue clearing and whole‐mount staining process aimed to enable optical access and specific cell labeling (1), murine ...
