Gait in Huntington's disease and the stride length-cadence relationship. [PDF]
The progressive deterioration of gait in Huntington's disease (HD) leads to functional decline and loss of function. To understand the underlying mechanisms responsible for the gait changes in HD, we examined the automatic control of gait by measuring the relationship between stride length and cadence.

Gait changes in a line of mice artificially selected for longer limbs [PDF]
In legged terrestrial locomotion, the duration of stance phase, i.e., when limbs are in contact with the substrate, is positively correlated with limb length, and negatively correlated with the metabolic cost of transport.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Objective: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common age related joint diseases. Various grades of KOA lead to change in gait pattern by different compensatory mechanisms. The aim of current study was to determine how KOA severities will affect

Abnormal gait pattern emerges during curved trajectories in high-functioning Parkinsonian patients walking in line at normal speed. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Several patients with Parkinson´s disease (PD) can walk normally along straight trajectories, and impairment in their stride length and cadence may not be easily discernible.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Thoracic limb stride length is associated with cognitive impairment in aging dogs
IntroductionChanges in stride length have been linked to cognitive impairment in humans with dementia. In aging dogs, cognitive decline is accompanied by slower gait speed.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Stride length regulation in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Results of our previous studies have shown that the slow, shuffling gait of Parkinson's disease patients is due to an inability to generate appropriate stride length and that cadence control is intact and is used as a compensatory mechanism. The reason for the reduced stride length is unclear, although deficient internal cue production or inadequate ...
