Pathway Analyses of Inherited Neuropathies Identify Putative Common Mechanisms of Axon Degeneration
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited neuropathies (IN) are associated with over 100 different genetic mutations presenting with a variety of phenotypes. This complexity suggests multiple pathways may converge onto a limited number of downstream pathways to effect axonal injury.

A novel DNM2 variant associated with centronuclear myopathy: a case report
DNM2 encodes the dynamin-2 protein, a GTPase involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and other membrane trafficking pathways. The dynamin-2 protein is composed of several functional domains, including a GTPase domain, a middle domain, a pleckstrin ...

Nerve damage induced skeletal muscle atrophy is associated with increased accumulation of intramuscular glucose and polyol pathway intermediates [PDF]
Perturbations in skeletal muscle metabolism have been reported for a variety of neuromuscular diseases. However, the role of metabolism after constriction injury to a nerve and the associated muscle atrophy is unclear.

ABSTRACT Objective To provide a comprehensive clinical and genetic characterization of individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), focusing on the distribution of genetic etiologies across the neuromuscular spectrum and comparing myogenic and neurogenic subtypes. Methods A total of 105 individuals with AMC were clinically and genetically

Abstract Growing concerns over rigor and reproducibility of preclinical studies, including consistency across laboratories and translation to clinical populations, have triggered efforts to harmonize methodologies. This includes the first set of preclinical common data elements (CDEs) for epilepsy research studies, as well as Case Report Forms (CRFs ...

Newcomb-Benford Law in Neuromuscular Transmission: Validation at Hyperkalemic Conditions [PDF]
Recently, we demonstrated the validity of anomalous numbers law, known as Newcomb-Benford's law, at the mammalian neuromuscular transmission, considering different extracellular calcium concentrations arXiv:2002.01986. The present work continues to examine how alterations in extracellular solution modulate the first digit law in the context of the ...

Engineering Assembloids to Mimic Graft‐Host Skeletal Muscle Interaction
This study develops a graft‐host skeletal muscle assembloid model combining neuromuscular organoids with tissue‐engineered constructs. Pre‐seeding decellularized muscles with myogenic cells enhances cell migration and axon invasion from the organoid. The model exhibits regenerative capacity following acute damage, advancing the understanding of human ...
