Recovery from acidosis is a robust trigger for loss of force in murine hypokalemic periodic paralysis. [PDF]
Periodic paralysis is an ion channelopathy of skeletal muscle in which recurrent episodes of weakness or paralysis are caused by sustained depolarization of the resting potential and thus reduction of fiber excitability.

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

Molecular pathology of acute spinal cord injury in middle-aged mice
The median age at which spinal cord injuries occur has steadily increased from 29 to 43 over the last several decades. Although more pre-clinical studies in aged rodents are being done to address this shift in demographics, comprehensive transcriptomic ...

The Role of Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy [PDF]
Dynamic spinal cord compression has been investigated for several years, but until the advent of open MRI, the use of dynamic MRI (dMRI) did not gain popularity.

ABSTRACT Background Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a major causative gene for axonal Charcot – Marie – Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A), with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Comprehensive large ‐ scale genotype – phenotype association studies are essential for understanding disease pathogenesis and improved clinical management.

Cromakalim (BRL 34915) restores in vitro the membrane potential of depolarized human skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915), a potent drug from a new class of drugs characterized as K+ channel openers, on the electrical activity of human skeletal muscle.

Single cell RNA sequencing after moderate traumatic brain injury: effects of therapeutic hypothermia
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a cascade of cellular and molecular events that promote acute and long-term patterns of neuronal, glial, vascular, and synaptic vulnerability leading to lasting neurological deficits. These complex responses lead to
