Farnesyltransferase Deficiency in Cardiomyocytes Initiates Senescence and Contributes to Cardiac Fibrosis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
Lipid overload suppresses SREBF2‐mediated FNTB expression, leading to defective Lamin A maturation and nuclear envelope instability. This nuclear catastrophe triggers a pro‐fibrotic senescence program in cardiomyocytes. Notably, restoring nuclear integrity via AAV9‐based gene therapy effectively attenuates cardiac remodeling, identifying the ...

Carrier screening in the reproductive setting—Are there medical implications for the heterozygote?—A guide for clinicians

Pregnancy, Volume 2, Issue 3, May 2026.
Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn

Novel LMNA Mutation in a Taiwanese Family with Autosomal Dominant Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007
Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterized by early-onset contractures, slowly progressive weakness, and muscle wasting in humeroperoneal muscles, and adult-onset cardiomyopathy with conduction block. We analyzed blood samples from an EDMD

Immunocytochemistry of nuclear domains and Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy pathophysiology

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
The present review summarizes recent cytochemical findings on the functional organization of the nuclear domains, with a particular emphasis on the relation between nuclear envelope- associated proteins and chromatin.

Mechanical Stress Triggers Premature Senescence in Cardiac Fibroblasts

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 47, December 18, 2025.
Cellular senescence contributes to disease burden in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and aging, highlighting the need to understand its induction. In primary cardiac fibroblasts, reduced strain and increased frequency, mimicking CVD, elicit a distinct senescent phenotype compared to oxidative stress.

Emerin increase in regenerating muscle fibers

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
The fate of emerin during skeletal muscle regeneration was investigated in an animal model by means of crush injury. Immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and mRNA analysis demonstrated that emerin level is increased in regenerating rat muscle fibers with ...

Novel Mutations in Titin Exon 363 With Different Phenotypes Including a Founder Mutation in Eastern Europe

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2025.
In six patients from five families, we identified two novel exon 363 pathogenic variants causing recessive titinopathies. Patients with a recurrent Eastern European founder variant presented with juvenile distal titinopathy, while a Belgian family showed an early‐onset titinopathy with contractures.

cTAGE5/MEA6 Regulates LBR Localization to Maintain Nuclear Envelope Integrity and Safeguard Against Aging

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
cTAGE5 regulates LBR trafficking between the ER and the nucleus membrane to maintain the integrity of both the ER and the nuclear envelope. cTAGE5 KO results in LBR retention in the ER, reduced stability, and subsequent disruption of nuclear envelope integrity. ABSTRACT cTAGE5/MEA6 plays a pivotal role in COPII complex assembly, ER‐to‐Golgi trafficking,

Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy

Clinical characteristics Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is characterized by the clinical triad of: joint contractures that begin in early childhood; slowly progressive muscle weakness and wasting initially in a humero-peroneal distribution that later extends to the scapular and pelvic girdle muscles; and cardiac involvement that may manifest ...
