Severity classification in cases of Collagen VI-related myopathy with Convolutional Neural Networks and handcrafted texture features [PDF]
2022 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP),
Bordeaux, France, 2022 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive tool for the clinical assessment of low-prevalence neuromuscular disorders. Automated diagnosis methods might reduce the need for biopsies and provide valuable information on disease follow-up. In this paper, three methods are proposed to classify target muscles in Collagen VI-related myopathy cases ...

Improving translational studies: lessons from rare neuromuscular diseases [PDF]
, 2015 Animal models play a key role in the development of novel treatments for human disease. This is particularly true for rare diseases – defined as disorders that affect less than 1 in 2000 people in the human population – for which, very often, there are ...

Genetic neuromuscular disease [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2002 The clinical practice of neuromuscular disease is currently undergoing enormous change as a direct result of the wealth of recent molecular genetic discoveries. Indeed, the majority of gene discoveries in the area of neurological disease relate to neuromuscular disorders.

A functional motor unit in the culture dish : co-culture of spinal cord explants and muscle cells [PDF]
, 2012 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
