Structure and Function of Smooth Muscle with Special Reference to Mast Cells [PDF]

, 2012
The structure of the smooth muscle tissue is quite different from that of other muscle tissue subtypes. The primary smooth muscle structural and functional unit – the smooth muscle myocyte (Myocytus nonstriatus) has unique structure, arrangement and innervation.

Multimodal Autonomic Biomarkers Predict Phenoconversion in Pure Autonomic Failure

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pure autonomic failure (PAF) presents with autonomic failure without other neurological features. A third develop central neurological features, fulfilling criteria for multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body diseases (LBD), including Parkinson's disease and Dementia with Lewy bodies.

Repeat Expansions in PLIN4 Cause Autosomal Dominant Vacuolar Myopathy With Sarcolemmal Features

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We aim to describe and characterize two unrelated Spanish families suffering from an autosomal dominant autophagic vacuolar myopathy caused by repeat expansions in PLIN4. Methods We evaluated the clinical phenotype and muscle imaging, and performed a genetic workup that included exome sequencing, muscle RNAseq, and long‐read genome ...

NOTCH2NLC Repeat Expansions in Parkinsonian Disorders: Clinical and Neuroimaging Characteristics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansions, with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including parkinsonism. Recent studies have identified NOTCH2NLC repeat expansions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (aPM), suggesting ...

Enhanced and sustained T cell activation in response to fluid shear stress

iScience
Summary: The efficacy of T cell therapies in treating solid tumors is limited by poor in vivo persistence, proliferation, and cytotoxicity, which can be attributed to limited and variable ex vivo activation. Herein, we present a 10-day kinetic profile of

Central Dysmyelination in SSADH‐Deficient Humans and Mice

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADHD) is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by an accumulation of γ‐aminobutyric (GABA). In addition to its synaptic role as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, GABA also plays an important role in myelination.

A crosstalk between adhesion and phagocytosis integrates macrophage functions into their microenvironment

iScience
Summary: Phagocytosis is the process of actin-dependent internalization and degradation of large particles. Macrophages, which are professional phagocytes, are present in all tissues and are, thus, exposed to environments with different mechanical ...

Longitudinal Study of Salivary Biomarkers in the Definition of Clinico‐Molecular Progression of Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Longitudinal changes in salivary biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease (PD) from early (T0) to 4‐year follow‐up (T1), quantified by ELISA: oligomeric and total α‐synuclein, total and phosphorylated tau, MAP1LC3B (autophagy), and TNFa (inflammation). Blue arrows indicate direction of change at T1 vs T0 (up = increase; down = decrease).
