Rigidity and flexibility in protein-protein interaction networks: a case study on neuromuscular disorders [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
Mutations in proteins can have deleterious effects on a protein's stability and function, which ultimately causes particular diseases. Genetically inherited muscular dystrophies (MDs) include several genetic diseases, which cause increasing weakness in muscles and disability to perform muscular functions progressively.

Mechanical Stress Induced NOX2 Promotes Endothelial Dysfunction in Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Potential Treatment with Quercetin

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Abnormal mechanical stretch induced by mechanical ventilation (MV) disrupts endothelial junctions via the NOX2/ROS/CaMKII/ERK1/2 axis both in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in vitro and in ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) in mice. Quercetin, an antioxidant predicted to bind to NOX2, can effectively prevent mechanical stretch‐induced ...

Hippocampal subfield and anterior-posterior segment volumes in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesNeuroImage: Clinical, 2021
Neuroimaging studies of hippocampal volumes in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have reported inconsistent results. Our aims were to demonstrate that such discrepancies are largely due to atrophy of different regions of the hippocampus ...

Motor Unit Number Estimation via Sequential Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
A change in the number of motor units that operate a particular muscle is an important indicator for the progress of a neuromuscular disease and the efficacy of a therapy. Inference for realistic statistical models of the typical data produced when testing muscle function is difficult, and estimating the number of motor units from these data is an ...

Splicing therapy for neuromuscular disease

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are two of the most common inherited neuromuscular diseases in humans. Both conditions are fatal and no clinically available treatments are able to significantly alter disease course in either case.

Risk Factors and Predictive Models for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Independent risk factors for sarcopenia identified by Lasso regression and logistic regression in the study were BMI, prealbumin, albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio), serum creatinine, and phosphorus. These factors were used to construct a nomogram model and a decision tree model. Both models showed effectiveness in predicting sarcopenia in older adults,

Lysosomal dysfunction and overload of nucleosides in thymidine phosphorylase deficiency of MNGIE

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine
Inherited deficiency of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), encoded by TYMP, leads to a rare disease with multiple mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) abnormalities, mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE).
