Whole‐Body Pattern of Muscle Degeneration and Progression in Sarcoglycanopathies
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize whole‐body intramuscular fat distribution pattern in patients with sarcoglycanopathies and explore correlations with disease severity, duration and age at onset. Methods Retrospective, cross‐sectional, multicentric study enrolling patients with variants in one of the four sarcoglycan genes who underwent whole‐body ...

A Pediatric Review of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
AbstractFacioscapulohumeral dystrophy is one of the most common forms of muscular dystrophies worldwide. It is a complex and heterogeneous disease secondary to insufficient epigenetic repression of D4Z4 repeats and aberrant expression of DUX4 in skeletal muscles.

ABSTRACT Primary mitochondrial diseases (PMDs) result from genetic variants in nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA which commonly lead to aberrant oxidative phosphorylation. The clinical complexity, often attributed to the underlying genetics, includes several distinct syndromes (e.g., Barth syndrome; Pearson syndrome; Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy ...

The relative frequency of common neuromuscular diagnoses in a reference center
The diagnostic procedure in neuromuscular patients is complex. Knowledge of the relative frequency of neuromuscular diseases within the investigated population is important to allow the neurologist to perform the most appropriate diagnostic tests ...

Abstract This study investigated whether performing a translatable murine model of concurrent training after tumour induction affects adaptations in juvenile male and female tumour‐bearing mice. Male and female Balb/c mice were injected bilaterally with colon‐26 adenocarcinoma (C26) cells or PBS at 8 weeks of age.

3D muscle culture reproduces the metabolic characteristics associated with the myostatin knockout phenotype. Abstract 3D cell culture, using a variety of bioengineering techniques, enables muscle cells to be cultured in more structural and functional biomimetic conditions than 2D cell culture.

This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Diagnostic challenges in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy [PDF]
The diagnosis of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) can be difficult due to its clinical variability and complex genetic cause. We present three challenging cases: one misdiagnosis of FSHD, one patient with FSHD resembling mitochondrial ...
