From nature to nanoscale: advances, challenges, and preclinical translation of nanofiber drug delivery systems containing plant‐derived active ingredients

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the early 1960s, nanotechnology has been a critical area of science, allowing for the development of sophisticated nanomaterials. Nanofibers, one of the most widely used nanotechnological drug delivery systems, have emerged as a highly versatile platform within modern pharmaceutical sciences.

ZPR1-Dependent Neurodegeneration Is Mediated by the JNK Signaling Pathway

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2019
The zinc finger protein ZPR1 deficiency causes neurodegeneration and results in a mild spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)-like disease in mice with reduced Zpr1 gene dosage. Mutation of the survival motor neuron 1 ( SMN1 ) gene causes SMA.

Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) Disorders: An Update on Emerging Treatments

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a heterogeneous group of heritable, mostly recessive, progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by iron deposition in the basal ganglia and brainstem. There are no solid global epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence of NBIA subtypes, but registry data and ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

open access: yes, 2016
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease with a high incidence and is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality. SMA is primarily characterized by degeneration of the spinal motor neurons that leads to skeletal

Gray Matter Microstructure Measured Using Diffusion Imaging as a Biomarker of Severity in Lewy Body Diseases

open access: yesMovement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Despite widespread cortical involvement in Lewy body diseases, conventional gray matter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows limited sensitivity. Diffusion‐weighted MRI‐derived microstructural measures have shown utility in Alzheimer's disease, but their application across the Lewy body disease spectrum remains limited ...

Navigating the Complexity: A Comprehensive Review of GSK‐3 Inhibition in Regenerative Medicine

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycogen synthase kinase‐3 (GSK‐3) is a central regulator of numerous cellular signaling pathways, with critical roles in metabolism, proliferation, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. This review explores the multifaceted effects of pharmacological GSK‐3 inhibition across multiple body districts, focusing on its highly context‐dependent

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

open access: yesMuscle &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 ...
