Fibroblasts and hiPS-Derived Astrocytes From CoPAN Patients Showed Different Levels of Iron Overload Correlated With Senescent Phenotype. [PDF]
Main Points CoPAN affects CoA biosynthesis and leads to iron dyshomeostasis. CoPAN d‐astrocytes show ferroptosis, iron accumulation, senescence, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial damage and tubulin acetylation loss. Astrocytes recapitulate CoPAN disease.

Dystonia Scales for Children: Challenges and Obstacles in DBS Practice. [PDF]
Abstract Background Dystonia in pediatric patients often coexists with other movement disorders and neurodevelopmental issues. Current rating scales for evaluating pediatric deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidates are not universally applicable and often require a non‐validated combination of the existing scales.

Case report: MR spectroscopy in pantothenate kinase-2 associated neurodegeneration
We report a case of a 13-year-old girl with Hallervorden-Spatz disease (HSD) or pantothenate kinase-2 associated neurodegeneration (PKAN). HSD is a rare neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by a rapidly progressive extrapyramidal syndrome ...
