Expanding Hereditary Spastic Paraplegias Limits: Biallelic SPAST Variants in Cerebral Palsy Mimics

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) are rare neurodegenerative disorders marked by spasticity and lower limb weakness. The most common type, SPG4, is usually autosomal dominant and caused by SPAST gene variants, typically presenting as pure HSP.

Clinical Applications of the Photopic Negative Response to Optic Nerve and Retinal Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2012
The photopic negative response (PhNR) in response to a brief flash is a negative-going wave following the b-wave of the cone electroretinogram (ERG) that is driven by retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).

The human OPA1delTTAG mutation induces premature age-related systemic neurodegeneration in mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Dominant optic atrophy is a rare inherited optic nerve degeneration caused by mutations in the mitochondrial fusion gene OPA1. Recently, the clinical spectrum of dominant optic atrophy has been extended to frequent syndromic forms, exhibiting various ...

Annual 12‐Week Dosing Gap of Natalizumab: Clinical Efficacy, Blood Biomarkers, and CSF Cell Composition

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Natalizumab (NTZ) is a highly effective therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS); however, its use is limited by the risk of a rare potentially severe opportunistic brain infection, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Alternative dosing strategies are evaluated to reduce PML risk while still maintaining efficacy, which ...

Toward Non-Invasive Electrical Stimulation for Guided Optic Nerve Regeneration

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
The optic nerve plays a critical role in visual information processing by relaying signals from the retina to the brain. Diseases affecting the optic nerve, such as glaucoma, can severely impair vision due to the nerve’s limited capacity for self ...

mTORC2 activation protects retinal ganglion cells via Akt signaling after autophagy induction in traumatic optic nerve injury

open access: yesExperimental and Molecular Medicine, 2019
Eye disease: switching signals for repairing injured optic nerves Regulating molecular signaling pathways that control the degradation of cellular components—a process known as autophagy—could offer a new approach to treating optic nerve damage after ...

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Elevation in the Central Nervous System Is Associated With Failure to Thrive in Alexander Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alexander disease (AxD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the gene for GFAP, which lead to protein aggregation and a primary astrocytopathy. Symptoms vary, but failure to thrive (FTT) and frequent emesis are common and cause significant morbidity. Here we investigate GDF15, a member of the
