Specialist multidisciplinary input maximises rare disease diagnoses from whole genome sequencing
Whole genome sequencing is emerging as a first-line test for rare genetic diseases. In this study, authors maximise diagnoses by supplementing existing semiautomated analyses with clinically driven reevaluation of genomic data by a specialist ...

Downregulation of genes with a function in axon outgrowth and synapse formation in motor neurones of the VEGF(delta/delta) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates vasculogenesis. It has also been shown to act as a neurotrophic factor in vitro and in vivo.

The impact of Hnrnpl deficiency on transcriptional patterns of developing muscle cells
We performed nanopore whole‐transcriptome sequencing comparing RNA from Hnrnpl‐knockdown versus control C2C12 myoblasts to investigate the contributions of Hnrnpl to muscle development. Our results indicate that Hnrnpl regulates the expression of genes involved with Notch signaling and skeletal muscle, particularly splicing patterns of specific muscle ...

A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
Human primary muscle cells cultured aneurally in monolayer rarely contract spontaneously because, in the absence of a nerve component, cell differentiation is limited and motor neuron stimulation is missing(1). These limitations hamper the in vitro study

Multimodal Autonomic Biomarkers Predict Phenoconversion in Pure Autonomic Failure
ABSTRACT Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with autonomic failure without other neurological features. A third develop central neurological features, fulfilling criteria for multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body diseases (LBD), including Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies.
