Primary hyperaldosteronism presenting as hypokalaemic periodic paralysis

Sri Lanka Journal of Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis is episodic painless muscle weakness associated with areflexia (1). Hypertension and hypokalaema are the classic presentation of primary hyperaldoteronism though some patients can be normokalaemic (2).

Microglial HVCN1 Deficiency Improves Movement and Survival of SOD1G93A ALS Mice by Enhancing Microglial Migration and Neuroprotection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogen voltage gated channel 1 (HVCN1) is upregulated in microglia of both ALS patients and its mouse model. HVCN1 deficiency enhances microglial migration via suppressing Akt signaling, promotes neurotrophic capacity and motor function, and prolongs survival of the SOD1G93A ALS mice. This study identifies HVCN1 as a novel, promising druggable target

PERIODIC PARALYSIS

Journal of the Grodno State Medical University, 2021
Periodic paralysis (paroxysmal myoplegia) is a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by mutations in the sodium, calcium, and potassium channel genes of skeletal muscle. Common features of primary periodic paralysis are autosomal dominant inheritance, changes in serum potassium levels as a result of a defect in ion channels, and the onset of the disease ...

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

Disrupting the Formation of YAP Condensates Promotes the Activation of AMPKα to Inhibit the Progression of Primary Liver Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates the function and molecular mechanisms of YAP phase separation in multiple primary liver cancers. These findings provide novel insights into phase separation‐mediated primary liver cancer development and validate targeted disruption of this process as an effective therapeutic strategy for primary liver cancer ...

A Conjugation Delivery System of Macrophages and Platelet Pharmacytes Promotes Regeneration After Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A macrophage–platelet conjugation system (M‐P‐NPs@PPARγ) targets injure tissue to co‐deliver platelet mitochondria and PPARγ‐encoding NPs. This strategy boosts the macrophage energy supply and restores lipid homeostasis, leading to synergistically enhanced efferocytosis and tissue repair Abstract Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in macrophages with ...

Engineered GM1 Intersects Between Mitochondrial and Synaptic Pathways to Ameliorate ALS Pathology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease driven by genetic and molecular disruptions affecting energy balance, protein homeostasis, and stress responses in nerve cells. Studies using human and rodent models identified convergent defects in mitochondria and synaptic function.
