Osteoarthritis: An Immuno‐Inflammatory Disease‐Mechanisms of Immune Cell Dysregulation and Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the immuno‐inflammatory mechanisms driving the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), extending beyond the traditional view of OA as a purely degenerative disease to incorporate immune cell infiltration, inflammatory factor release, and the formation of a chronic low‐grade inflammatory microenvironment.

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation Enhances Dexterity in Parkinson's Disease: A Randomized Sham‐Controlled Trial

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ultrasound‐based neuromodulation, capable of reaching deep brain areas with high precision, represents cutting‐edge technology in non‐invasive brain stimulation and is investigated as a novel treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD).

Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).

IgG Subclass (IgG1‐4) and IgA Autoantibody Profiles Against Muscle‐Specific Kinase in a Greek Cohort

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Muscle‐specific kinase myasthenia gravis (MuSK‐MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder predominantly mediated by IgG4 autoantibodies disrupting MuSK signaling. The contribution of other isotypes remains incompletely defined. We characterized the serological profile of a Greek cohort of MuSK‐MG patients.

Myelin basic protein and occludin may be the biomarkers to diagnose leukoaraiosis and cognitive dysfunction

Scientific Reports
Leukoaraiosis (LA) can lead to a range of clinical symptoms, with cognitive dysfunction being the most prominent. However, the biomarkers that could assist in the early diagnosis of LA and predict disease progression are lacking.

Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Myasthenia Gravis and Thymoma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thymoma is the most common tumor of the anterior mediastinum. Approximately 20%–30% of patients with a thymoma develop myasthenia gravis (MG), and an additional one third may possess positive acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies without MG.

Effect of High Intensity Exercise Preconditioning on the Prevention of Myelin damage in Hippocampus of Male C57BL/6 Mice

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Īlām, 2019
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurodegenerative disease leading to the movement disorder and destruction of myelin. Physical exercise delays the onset of neurodegenerative processes by preventing the destruction of myelin and ...

Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.

Progress in bone tissue engineering biomaterials: Development, challenges, and prospects

VIEW, EarlyView.
Scheme 1 Application of biomaterials in immunomodulation during bone tissue engineering. Abstract Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge in orthopedics. Over 2 million cases caused by trauma, tumors, and other factors occur annually, with large‐scale defects posing a particular bottleneck due to limited self‐healing capacity.
