MFN2 KNOCKDOWN CAUSES NEUROMUSCULAR ALTERATIONS DURING ZEBRAFISH (DANIO RERIO) DEVELOPMENT: CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF A NEW MODEL FOR CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH TYPE 2A NEUROPATHY [PDF]
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) diseases are the most common hereditary diseases of the peripheral nervous system. One of the most frequent, the dominant subtype CMT2A, is caused by mutations in the MFN2 gene coding for mitofusin 2, a dynamin-like GTPase ...

Bidirectional crosstalk between the peripheral nervous system and lymphoid tissues/organs
The central nervous system (CNS) influences the immune system generally by regulating the systemic concentration of humoral substances (e.g., cortisol and epinephrine), whereas the peripheral nervous system (PNS) communicates specifically with the immune

Evidence of Oligoclonal Bands Does Not Exclude Non-Inflammatory Neurological Diseases
Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is an essential part of the diagnostic workup in various neurological disorders. Evidence of an intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis, as demonstrated by Reiber’s diagram or the more sensitive oligoclonal bands (OCB), are ...
