A Novel C19orf47‐AKT2 Chimeric RNA Generated by Cis‐Splicing of Adjacent Genes Is Associated With Glioblastoma Prognosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Malignant gliomas pose significant therapeutic challenges. This study aimed to identify and characterize a novel chimeric RNA in glioma and assess its clinical and functional significance for precision treatment. Methods The C19orf47‐AKT2 chimeric RNAs were identified through RNA sequencing and validated by polymerase chain reaction.

Astrocyte transduction is required for rescue of behavioral phenotypes in the YAC128 mouse model with AAV-RNAi mediated HTT lowering therapeutics

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2019
Huntington's disease (HD) is a fatal autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG expansion, which translates into an elongated polyglutamine (polyQ) repeat near the amino-terminus of the huntingtin protein (HTT).

In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell

Mfn2 ubiquitination by PINK1/parkin gates the p97-dependent release of ER from mitochondria to drive mitophagy

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Despite their importance as signaling hubs, the function of mitochondria-ER contact sites in mitochondrial quality control pathways remains unexplored. Here we describe a mechanism by which Mfn2, a mitochondria-ER tether, gates the autophagic turnover of

Neurological diseases in pregnancy

open access: yesJournal of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 2013
Neurological diseases are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy. The management of multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, myasthenia gravis, certain neuropathies and headache in pregnancy is described; the potentially life-threatening conditions of stroke and eclampsia are also discussed. Management of most neurological conditions is similar to

High‐Efficacy Treatment in Neuromyelitis Optica Specturm Disorder Patients With Seropositive AQP4 Antibodies—A Real‐World Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the effectiveness of high‐efficacy treatments (HET) and low‐efficacy treatments (LET) in NMOSD patients with anti‐aquaporin‐4 antibodies (AQP4‐ab). Methods In this multi‐center study, we analyzed 183 AQP4‐ab seropositive NMOSD patients who received immunosuppressive treatments (IST).

Acute microglia ablation induces neurodegeneration in the somatosensory system

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Previous studies have shown that depletion of microglia at early developmental stages leads to neuronal death. Here the authors use an inducible system to ablate microglia in adulthood, showing that such depletion leads to ataxia-like behavior and ...
