KLF15 overexpression in myocytes fails to ameliorate ALS-related pathology or extend the lifespan of SOD1G93A mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a currently incurable disease that causes progressive motor neuron loss, paralysis and death. Skeletal muscle pathology occurs early during the course of ALS. It is characterized by impaired mitochondrial biogenesis,

SMN deficiency in severe models of spinal muscular atrophy causes widespread intron retention and DNA damage [PDF]

, 2017
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease, is the leading monogenic cause of infant mortality. Homozygous loss of the gene survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) causes the selective degeneration of lower motor neurons and ...

Expression, Clinical Significance, and Functional Prediction of MNX1 in Breast Cancer

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2018
Motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 (MNX1) is a key developmental gene. Previous studies found that it was upregulated in several tumors, but its role in breast cancer (BC) remains unclear.

Defective axonal transport in motor neuron disease [PDF]

, 2007
Several recent studies have highlighted the role of axonal transport in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases. Mutations in genes that control microtubule regulation and dynamics have been shown to cause motor neuron degeneration in mice and in a ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Targeting SR proteins improves SMN expression in spinal muscular atrophy cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is one of the most common inherited causes of pediatric mortality. SMA is caused by deletions or mutations in the survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which results in SMN protein deficiency.

The Huntington's disease mutation impairs Huntingtin's role in the transport of NF-κB from the synapse to the nucleus [PDF]

, 2010
Expansion of a polyglutamine (polyQ) tract in the Huntingtin (Htt) protein causes Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal inherited neurodegenerative disorder.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our
