A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain
We developed a Drosophila model for prion disease, and flies were capable of expressing the hamster prion protein (HaPrP) under the control of the GAL4/UAS system. The model exhibited some characteristics of the disease in mammals and displayed alterations in protein, sphingolipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Preliminary applications have demonstrated

Development of an efficient mice model of cancer‐associated cardiac cachexia
This work establishes a preclinical framework for targeting ubiquitin pathways to mitigate the morbidity of cancer‐related cardiopathy. Our integrated approach delineates a hierarchical progression from subcellular dysfunction to macroscopic cardiac deterioration. These findings mechanistically link tumor‐induced cachexia to cardiac dysfunction through

Deleting Col6a3 exon 3 by CRISPR in mice results in centralized nuclei consistent with a myopathy phenotype mimicking collagen VI‐associated human disease Abstract Background Most mutations in the COL6A3 gene lead to collagen VI‐related myopathies. This is due to a reduced expression or mislocalization of the COL6A3 protein.

Autosomal Recessive Cerebellar Ataxias: Translating Genes to Therapies
Autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxias are disabling neurodegenerative genetic conditions affecting balance and coordination. Advancements in genomic testing have improved diagnosis, leading to a new focus on the development of targeted precision therapeutics addressing cellular, biochemical, and genetic disease mechanisms with a resulting emphasis on ...

Objective A growing body of evidence indicates a strong genetic overlap between developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) and movement disorders. De novo loss‐of‐function variants in NUS1 have been recently identified in DEE cases. Herein, we report a large cohort of cases with pathogenic NUS1 variants and describe their clinical presentation
