Electrical impedance myography detects dystrophin-related muscle changes in mdx mice
Background The lack of functional dystrophin protein in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) causes chronic skeletal muscle inflammation and degeneration. Therefore, the restoration of functional dystrophin levels is a fundamental approach for DMD therapy ...

MicroRNA 200c-3p regulates autophagy via upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress in PC-3 cells
Background Autophagy is a response to cellular and environmental conditions and facilitates cell survival. Here, we investigated the role of ectopic expression of microRNA (miRNA) 200c-3p in autophagy. Methods miRNA mimics were used to overexpress miRNAs.

The occurrence of a peripheral neuropathy (PN) in association with a monoclonal gammopathy is quite common and suggests that monoclonal proteins may play a pathogenetic role in peripheral nervous system damage. In fact, paraproteinemic PN constitute an heterogeneous group of disorders related to various pathogenetic factors, and the histopathologic ...

Transcriptional Fingerprint of Hypomyelination in and () Mice
The transcriptional program that controls oligodendrocyte maturation and central nervous system (CNS) myelination has not been fully characterized. In this study, we use high-throughput RNA sequencing to analyze how the loss of a key transcription factor,

Hereditary peripheral neuropathies constitute a large group of genetic diseases, with an overall prevalence of 1:2500. In recent years, the use of so-called next-generation sequencing (NGS) has led to the identification of many previously unknown involved genes and genetic defects that cause neuropathy.
