Clinical Phenotyping and Biomarkers in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy
Background: Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) or Kennedy disease [OMIM: 313200] is a rare X-linked neuromuscular disease. Patients commonly present with muscle cramps, tremors, leg weakness, dysarthria and dysphagia.Methods: We deeply phenotyped ...

Serum Neurofilament Levels in Children With Febrile Seizures and in Controls
ObjectiveNeuroaxonal damage is reflected by serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) values in a variety of acute and degenerative diseases of the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of febrile and epileptic seizures on sNfL, serum ...

Generation of a Spiral Ganglion Neuron Degeneration Mouse Model
Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) can be injured by a wide variety of insults. However, there still is a lack of degeneration models to specifically damage the SGNs without disturbing other types of cells in the inner ear. This study aims to generate an SGN-

Inhibition of neurite outgrowth in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells by phenyl saligenin phosphate: Effects on MAP kinase (ERK 1/2) activation, neurofilament heavy chain phosphorylation and neuropathy target esterase activity [PDF]
Sub-lethal concentrations of the organophosphate phenyl saligenin phosphate (PSP) inhibited the outgrowth of axon-like processes in differentiating mouse N2a neuroblastoma cells (IC50 2.5 μM).

Exploring Neurofilament Light Chain and Exosomes in the Genetic Forms of Frontotemporal Dementia
Differential diagnosis of neurological disorders and their subtype classification are challenging without specific biomarkers. Genetic forms of these disorders, typified by an autosomal dominant family history, could offer a window to identify potential ...
