Altered mRNA Splicing in SMN-Depleted Motor Neuron-Like Cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an intractable neurodegenerative disease afflicting 1 in 6-10,000 live births. One of the key functions of the SMN protein is regulation of spliceosome assembly.

Inflating with Baryons

, 2010
We present a field theory solution to the eta problem. By making the inflaton field the phase of a baryon of SU(N_c) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory we show that all operators that usually spoil the flatness of the inflationary potential are absent. Our

The evolving therapeutic landscape of spinal muscular atrophy – A scoping review of investigational agents, emerging delivery technologies and strategic innovations

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease with emerging therapeutic complexity. This review aims to systematically map the global pipeline of investigational treatments for SMA. Using ClinicalTrials.gov and complementary international registries, we identified 21 planned or ongoing interventional trials from 2020 to 2025 targeting

Gravitational radiation from elastic particle scattering in models with extra dimensions [PDF]

, 2005
In this paper we derive a formula for the energy loss due to elastic N to N particle scattering in models with extra dimensions that are compactified on a radius R.

Abnormal functional connectivity patterns in temporal lobe epilepsy—An international ENIGMA‐epilepsy study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) impacts multiple brain networks. Aberrant functional connectivity has been demonstrated in resting‐state networks (RSNs) that mediate higher brain functions in TLE. This study aimed to identify the reproducible patterns of altered functional connectivity in TLE in a large, international cohort through ...

Gamma SARS‐CoV‐2 variant of concern infection repercussions on pregnancy outcomes: A translational cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study conduct viral genome sequencing among severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2)‐infected pregnant and postpartum individuals, and investigates disease severity and maternal and perinatal outcomes considering variant of concern (VOC) and non‐VOC groups.

Disrupted Brain Structure and Function in Alzheimer's Disease Patients With Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are highly prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aims to elucidate the neuropathological mechanisms underlying BPSD by investigating gray matter volume (GMV) and brain connectivity in AD patients with and without BPSD.

Survival motor neuron protein regulates stem cell division, proliferation, and differentiation in Drosophila.

PLoS Genetics, 2011
Spinal muscular atrophy is a severe neurogenic disease that is caused by mutations in the human survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMN protein is required for the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins and a dramatic reduction of the protein ...

Complement C3 mediates adolescent social isolation‐induced hippocampal synaptic deficits and sex‐specific emotional dysfunction

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Adolescent social isolation disrupts hippocampal function and exacerbates emotional symptoms, with sex‐specific patterns, as shown by human studies. In mice, social isolation decreased hippocampal synaptic density and calcium signaling, upregulated complement proteins, and activated complement‐mediated microglial synaptic phagocytosis.
