Known allosteric proteins have central roles in genetic disease [PDF]
Allostery is a form of protein regulation, where ligands that bind sites located apart from the active site can modify the activity of the protein. The molecular mechanisms of allostery have been extensively studied, because allosteric sites are less conserved than active sites, and drugs targeting them are more specific than drugs binding the active ...

New era of optogenetics: from the central to peripheral nervous system
Optogenetics has recently gained recognition as a biological technique to control the activity of cells using light stimulation. Many studies have applied optogenetics to cell lines in the central nervous system because it has the potential to elucidate ...

Peripheral nervous system manifestations of Chediak-Higashi disease [PDF]
Chediak-Higashi disease (CHD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with hematologic, infectious, pigmentary, and neurologic manifestations. Classic CHD (C-CHD) presents in early childhood with severe infectious or hematologic complications unless treated with bone marrow transplantation. Atypical CHD (A-CHD) has less severe hematologic and infectious

The role of the peripheral and central nervous systems in rotator cuff disease [PDF]
Rotator cuff (RC) disease is an extremely common condition associated with shoulder pain, reduced functional capacities, and impaired quality of life. It primarily involves alterations in tendon health and mechanical properties that can ultimately lead to tendon failure.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.
