Meta-analysis of Gene Expression in Neurodegenerative Diseases Reveals Patterns in GABA Synthesis and Heat Stress Pathways [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized as the progressive loss of neural cells, e.g. neurons, glial cells. Ageing, monogenic variations, viral infections, and many other factors are determined and speculated as causes for them. While many individual genes, such as APP for Alzheimer disease and HTT for Huntington disease, and biological pathways ...

A Novel CHMP2B Splicing Variant in Atypical Presentation of Familial Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

Snap and Diagnose: An Advanced Multimodal Retrieval System for Identifying Plant Diseases in the Wild [PDF]

arXiv
Plant disease recognition is a critical task that ensures crop health and mitigates the damage caused by diseases. A handy tool that enables farmers to receive a diagnosis based on query pictures or the text description of suspicious plants is in high demand for initiating treatment before potential diseases spread further.
