Technologies for engineering repetitive DNA
Abstract Repetitive DNA, a fundamental architectural element of genomes, is widespread across organisms and comprises about 54% of the human genome. With advances in long‐read sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, highly repetitive sequences can now be characterized in depth.

Myotonic Dystrophies: State of the Art of New Therapeutic Developments for the CNS
Myotonic dystrophies are multisystemic diseases characterized not only by muscle and heart dysfunction but also by CNS alteration. They are now recognized as brain diseases affecting newborns and children for myotonic dystrophy type 1 and adults for both

In this proof‐of‐concept study, 3D radiomic texture analysis of quantitative muscle MRI (proton density fat fraction (PDFF, %) maps) distinguished the myogenic disease DM1 from the neurogenic disease CMT1A. Compared with DM1, CMT1A showed higher entropy, contrast, and lower homogeneity, reflecting a reticular vs.

ABSTRACT It remains unclear why exercising damaged muscles is perceived as disproportionately more effortful. Given the known role of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in fatigue and afferent sensory signaling, we tested whether muscle damage disrupts phosphate metabolism and whether this is associated with heightened ratings of perceived exertion (RPE ...
