AGRN‐, LRP4‐, MUSK‐Related CMS: Clinical, Neurophysiological, Morphological, Genetic and Pathological Mechanisms

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are inherited disorders caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins essential for neuromuscular junction (NMJ) function. Pathogenic variants have been identified in more than 35 genes, underscoring the complexity of synaptic biology and the wide range of mechanisms that can compromise neuromuscular ...

A practical CD90.2-based FACS strategy for obtaining Schwann cell-enriched cultures from adult mouse nerves

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Primary Schwann cell cultures derived from adult murine peripheral nerves are frequently compromised by fibroblast overgrowth, limiting their utility for in vitro studies.

Muscle‐Specific Kinase Signaling and Its Therapeutic Potential

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The function of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is compromised in many neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) such as autoimmune or congenital myasthenia gravis (MG), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and muscular dystrophies.

Engineered Neural Tissue (EngNT) Containing Human iPSC-Derived Schwann Cell Precursors Promotes Axon Growth in a Rat Model of Peripheral Nerve Injury

Bioengineering
Tissue engineering has the potential to overcome the limitations of using autografts in nerve gap repair, using cellular biomaterials to bridge the gap and support neuronal regeneration.

Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Administration of Schwann Cell‐Like Cells Differentiated From Tonsil‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration by Inducing Macrophage Polarization in a Chronic Constriction Injury Model

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
TMSC‐SCs were mixed with fibrin adhesive and administered into the sciatic nerve of CCI rats, and nerve conduction studies and histopathological observations confirmed the regeneration of the peripheral nerve and gastrocnemius muscle. In addition, the expression of M1 and M2 macrophage markers was observed after the administration of TMSC‐SCs. ABSTRACT

Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell–Derived Exosomes Attenuate Renal Fibrosis by Suppressing Fibroblast Activation via the INHBA/PI3K/AKT Pathway

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
MSC‐Exo derived from human umbilical cord (HucMSC‐Exo) downregulates INHBA expression, consequently modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling cascade. This regulation attenuates renal fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, thereby exerting a renoprotective effect against fibrosis.

In Vitro Reconstruction of Axonal Heat Sensing with a Photothermal Nerve‐on‐a‐Chip

Small, EarlyView.
A photothermal nerve‐on‐a‐chip platform is presented that enables precise, localized heating of sensory axons with simultaneous electrical recording. The system reveals millisecond‐scale dynamics of heat‐evoked neural activity and provides a new approach to study how temperature‐dependent ion channel behavior is translated into axonal firing.

Audiological Characteristics in Vestibular Schwannoma Patients

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign tumor that originates from the Schwann cells of the vestibular nerve sheath in the internal auditory canal. This retrospective study collected data from patients with VS who underwent surgical treatment to identify their demographic characteristics and audiometric features.
