Infantile and early childhood onset of mitochondrial myopathy due to mutations in the TK2 gene with a phenotype of spinal muscular atrophy 5q: the first cases in Russia

open access: yesНервно-мышечные болезни, 2019
Introduction. Mitochondrial myopathy with thymidine kinase 2 deficiency and spinal muscular atrophy 5q (SMA-5q) are two potentially curable hereditary diseases with different levels of damage to the neuromuscular system and etiology.

Clinical Evidence Supporting Early Treatment Of Patients With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Current Perspectives

open access: yesTherapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 2019
Recent advances in the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have dramatically altered prognosis. Rather than a rapidly lethal disease, SMA type 1, the most severe form with the earliest onset of SMA, has become a disease in which long-term event ...

Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Prevalence, incidence and carrier frequency of 5q–linked spinal muscular atrophy – a literature review

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy linked to chromosome 5q (SMA) is a recessive, progressive, neuromuscular disorder caused by bi-allelic mutations in the SMN1 gene, resulting in motor neuron degeneration and variable presentation in relation to onset and severity.

Clinical decision making around commercial use of gene and genetic therapies for spinal muscular atrophy

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics
Spinal muscular atrophy is no longer a leading cause of inherited infant death in the United States. Since 2016, three genetic therapies have been approved for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy.
