Neurodegenerative and Neurodevelopmental Roles for Bulk Lipid Transporters VPS13A and BLTP2

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bridge‐like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) mediate bulk lipid transport at membrane contact sites. Mutations in BLTPs are linked to both early‐onset neurodevelopmental and later‐onset neurodegenerative diseases, including movement disorders.

Light‐Activated Pharmacological Tools for Exploring the Cholinergic System

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cholinergic transmission plays a critical role in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, affecting processes such as learning, memory, and inflammation. Conventional cholinergic drugs generally suffer from poor selectivity and temporal precision, leading to undesired effects and limited therapeutic efficacy. Photopharmacology aims to

Proteomic Profiling Informs Mechanisms of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Inhibition by Cranberry Proanthocyanidins

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

The Impact of Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor rs6265 (Val66Met) Polymorphism on Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: A Preclinical Study of Therapy–Genotype Interactions

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
The rs6265 (Val66Met) BDNF SNP determines responsiveness to a clinically relevant therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES) protocol following peripheral nerve injury. This study examined gene–treatment interactions using a rat model of sciatic nerve injury and human iPSC‐derived motor neurons to assess how the common rs6265 BDNF polymorphism influences

Quality of Life of People With Neuromuscular Diseases: The Role of Stigma

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Stigma is thought to have a profound impact on quality of life (QoL) among people with neuromuscular diseases (NMD), but empirical evidence is limited. This study sought to explore associations of enacted stigma (social exclusion) and felt stigma (shame, fear of exclusion) with QoL.

Function of the Normal Neuromuscular Junction in Young Children

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test is fundamental to test the functional integrity of the neuromuscular junction. RNS data are scarce for newborns and young children, limiting early diagnostic efforts to identify children with neuromuscular diseases. Here, we performed RNS in young children.

Effect of creatine monohydrate on motor function in children with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy: A multicenter, randomized, double‐blind placebo‐controlled crossover trial

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a rare, progressive muscle disease with no available disease‐modifying therapy. Creatine monohydrate (CrM) has been shown to improve muscle strength in individuals with muscular dystrophies but has not been tested in young people with FSHD.

Tissue‐Specific Regulation of Fatty Acid Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Isolated Complex I Deficiency

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated complex I deficiency (ICD) is commonly associated with mitochondrial diseases and closely mimics subacute necrotising encephalomyelopathy. This disorder is characterised by metabolic perturbations that affect energy metabolism pathways, including fatty acid metabolism.

Perceived barriers and facilitators to preventing hospital‐acquired pressure injury in paediatrics: A qualitative analysis

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Aim This qualitative study aimed to identify nurses' and allied health professionals' perceptions and experiences of providing hospital‐acquired pressure injury (HAPI) prevention in a paediatric tertiary hospital in Australia, as well as understand the perceived barriers and facilitators to preventing HAPI.

The Role of Magnesium in Liver Cirrhosis

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Magnesium is a vital mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, crucial for physiological functions. Its deficiency, common in liver cirrhosis patients, correlates with poor outcomes by affecting inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis, and immunity. This review explores magnesium's role in cirrhosis and its interaction with disease mechanisms.
