RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Safety and feasibility of Lin- cells administration to ALS patients : a novel view on humoral factors and miRNA profiles [PDF]
Therapeutic options for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are still limited. Great hopes, however, are placed in growth factors that show neuroprotective abilities (e.g., nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and vascular

A wide range of neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) may result in dysfunction of the ventilatory pump and consequently lead to complications such as respiratory failure, sleep disorder, aspiration pneumonia and death. Respiratory disorders are the primary cause of mortality in NMDs, and appropriate management of patients can prevent complications and prolong
