OXPHOS complex deficiency in congenital myopathy: A systematic review
This systematic review assessed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex dysfunction in genetically confirmed congenital myopathies (CM). Among 5841 studies screened, 23 publications, comprising 45 CM cases, met the inclusion criteria. OXPHOS dysfunction was identified in 78% of cases, particularly where enzymology was performed, with RYR1 most ...

Nemaline myopathy occurred sporadically in a 59-year-old woman. She had slowly progressive weakness. A muscle biopsy specimen showed nemaline rods, increased variation in fiber size, apparent loss of Type IIb fiber differentiation, and a "moth-eaten" pattern of the intermyofibrillar network.

Nemaline Myopathy: Respiratory Failure
A Japanese boy with nemaline myopathy diagnosed at three years of age and complicated by severe respiratory failure at 8 years is reported from the Division of Child Neurology, National Center Hospital for Mental, Nervous, and Muscular Disorders, Kodaira,

Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP) often presents with increased passive stiffness of the skeletal muscles, primarily due to increased collagen in the extracellular matrix. Collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum (CCH), an enzyme that degrades collagen, is used clinically to treat fibrotic conditions such as Dupuytren's contracture and Peyronie's disease ...

Identification and characterization of tropomyosin 3 associated with granulin-epithelin precursor in human hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background and Aim: Granulin-epithelin precursor (GEP) has previously been reported to control cancer growth, invasion, chemo-resistance, and served as novel therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

A loss of function TNNT1 myopathy mouse model with the nonsense mutation p.E180* showed potential cytotoxicity of the truncated slow troponin T fragment. The mRNA expression profile in the soleus muscle of Tnnt1‐p.E180* mice showed very different changes in comparison to that of Tnnt1‐knockout mice.

Leiomodin-3-deficient mice display nemaline myopathy with fast-myofiber atrophy
Nemaline myopathy (NM) is one of the most common forms of congenital myopathy, and affects either fast myofibers, slow myofibers, or both. However, an animal model for congenital myopathy with fast-myofiber-specific atrophy is not available. Furthermore,

Optogenetic methods to stimulate gamma motor neuron axons ex vivo
Abstract It is challenging to stimulate gamma motor neurons, which are important regulators of muscle spindle afferent function, without also recruiting alpha motor neurons. Here, we test the feasibility of stimulating gamma motor neuron axons using optogenetics in two transgenic mouse lines. We used an ex vivo muscle–nerve preparation in adult mice to
