Clinical features of a novel TIMP-3 mutation causing Sorsby's fundus dystrophy: implications for disease mechanism [PDF]

, 2001
AIMS: To describe the phenotype in three family members affected by a novel mutation in the gene coding for the enzyme tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3). METHODS: Three members of the same family were seen with a history of nyctalopia and

Engineering Lipid Nanoparticles for Precision RNA Delivery: Design Principles, Targeting Strategies, and Clinical Prospects

Cancer Nexus, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) represent the most clinically advanced platform for RNA delivery and have enabled major breakthroughs in vaccines and gene therapies. However, their broader application is still limited by inefficient extrahepatic delivery, immunogenicity, and insufficient control over tissue‐ and cell‐specific targeting. This review

Preliminary study on electrophysiological changes after cellular autograft in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Evolving atrophic macular degeneration represents at least 80% of all macular degenerations and is currently without a standardized care. Autologous fat transplantation (AFT) efficacy was demonstrated by several studies, since these cells are

The association between neural crest‐derived glia and melanocyte lineages throughout development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Neural crest cells are a transient cell population that emerges from the dorsal neural tube during neurulation and migrates extensively throughout the embryo. Among their diverse derivatives, glial cells (such as Schwann and satellite ganglionic cells) and melanocytes represent two major lineages. In vitro studies suggested they share a common

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Integrative genomic and spatial transcriptomic analysis elucidates the oligodendrocyte‐mediated etiology of epileptic cortical thinning

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal epilepsy is characterized by progressive cortical thinning, particularly within limbic structures; however, whether this atrophy reflects acquired seizure‐induced damage or shared genetic predisposition remains unresolved. Methods We integrated genome‐wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from the ILAE Consortium ...

DEL-1: a promising treatment for AMD-associated ER stress in retinal pigment epithelial cells

Journal of Translational Medicine
Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an irreversible eye disease that can cause blurred vision. Regular exercise has been suggested as a therapeutic strategy for treating AMD, but how exercise improves AMD is not yet understood.

Primary Cilium-Mediated Retinal Pigment Epithelium Maturation Is Disrupted in Ciliopathy Patient Cells

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Primary cilia are sensory organelles that protrude from the cell membrane. Defects in the primary cilium cause ciliopathy disorders, with retinal degeneration as a prominent phenotype.

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.
