Experimental gene therapies for the NCLs
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), also known as Batten disease, are a group of rare monogenic neurodegenerative diseases predominantly affecting children. All NCLs are lethal and incurable and only one has an approved treatment available. To date, 13 NCL subtypes (CLN1-8, CLN10-14) have been identified, based on the particular disease-causing ...

Photoelectron Photoion Coincidence Spectroscopy of NCl3 and NCl2 [PDF]
AbstractWe investigate NCl3 and the NCl2 radical by photoelectron‐photoion coincidence spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. The mass selected threshold photoelectron spectrum (ms‐TPES) of NCl3 is broad and unstructured due to the large geometry change. An ionization energy of 9.7±0.1 eV is estimated from the spectrum and supported by computations.

Repression of Virulence in Staphylococcus aureus by 2‐Aminothiol‐Mediated Quorum Quenching
Simple analogues of cysteine that can eliminate the native autoinducing peptides (AIPs) of staphylococci extracellularly, before they activate their receptor, and turn off quorum sensing in different Staphylococcus aureus. The elimination of AIPs occurs through a mechanism similar to native chemical ligation (NCL). Further, this strategy showed promise

Background Non-co-linear (NCL) transcripts consist of exonic sequences that are topologically inconsistent with the reference genome in an intragenic fashion (circular or intragenic trans-spliced RNAs) or in an intergenic fashion (fusion or intergenic ...

Contribution of patient organisations to the NCLs
This review will summarise the achievements of Patient Organisations and Foundations started by affected Batten disease families, with an emphasis on their recent contribution to Batten disease, examine the benefits and pitfalls of their interactions with scientists and propose a way forward.

Methylation as a key regulator of Tau aggregation and neuronal health in Alzheimer’s disease
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease involves abnormal aggregation and accumulation of toxic proteins aggregates. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of the causative proteins play an important role in the

NCLs and ER: A stressful relationship
The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCLs, Batten disease) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative disorders with variable age of onset, characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of autofluorescent ceroid lipopigments. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a critical organelle for normal cell function. Alteration of ER homeostasis leads to accumulation

One dimensional normal consolidation line equation
Many empirical equations have been proposed in the past to predict the parameters of the one-dimensional normal consolidation line (1D-NCL) for soils. However, applications of these equations are limited to specific range of pressure and plasticity soils.
