Complexity of Model Testing for Dynamical Systems with Toric Steady States
In this paper we investigate the complexity of model selection and model testing for dynamical systems with toric steady states. Such systems frequently arise in the study of chemical reaction networks.

Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying muscular dystrophy [PDF]
The muscular dystrophies are a group of heterogeneous genetic diseases characterized by progressive degeneration and weakness of skeletal muscle. Since the discovery of the first muscular dystrophy gene encoding dystrophin, a large number of genes have ...

Identification of 8 new mutations in Brazilian families with Marfan syndrome [PDF]
To determine the founder of Indian myotonic dystrophy mutation, we have studied the expansion of CTG repeats in myotonin protein kinase gene and two intragenic linked loci Alu(ins) / Alu(del) and G/T intron 9 HinfI polymorphism in ten unrelated DM patients from eastern India.

The proposal of a clinical protocol to assess central and peripheral fatigue in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]
DM1 is an autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by muscle weakness, myotonia, and multisystemic involvement. According to current literature fatigue and daytime sleepiness are among the main symptoms of DM1.

Loss of muscleblind-like 1 results in cardiac pathology and persistence of embryonic splice isoforms. [PDF]
Cardiac dysfunction is a prominent cause of mortality in myotonic dystrophy I (DM1), a disease where expanded CUG repeats bind and disable the muscleblind-like family of splice regulators.

Genetic and systems level analysis of Drosophila sticky/citron kinase and dFmr1 mutants reveals common regulation of genetic networks [PDF]
Background In Drosophila, the genes sticky and dFmr1 have both been shown to regulate cytoskeletal dynamics and chromatin structure. These genes also genetically interact with Argonaute family microRNA regulators.

Exploring the roles of stress, codon usage, and RNA modifications in myotonic dystrophy type 1 [PDF]
Myotonic dystrophy (DM), the most common form of muscular dystrophy, is a neuromuscular disease caused by microsatellite repeat expansions. It can represent a multi-systemic autosomal dominant disease with DM1 and DM2 subtypes. A cytosine-thymine-guanine
