Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

Mitochondrial membrane remodeling in stress adaptation: Lipid control of organelle quality

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondria respond to proteotoxic stress through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, traditionally viewed as a transcriptional program that restores proteostasis by inducing chaperones and proteases. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial membrane remodeling constitutes an additional adaptive component of this response ...

Role of Tafazzin in Hematopoiesis and Leukemogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Tafazzin (TAZ) is a mitochondrial transacylase that remodels the mitochondrial cardiolipin into its mature form. Through a CRISPR screen, we identified TAZ as necessary for the growth and viability of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.

YAP‐activated lymph node fibroblasts contribute to extracellular matrix remodeling associated with extranodal extension of oral squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Desmoplasia, characterized by excessive expansion of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is widely present especially in invasive cancers. The extranodal extension (ENE) of nodal metastasis involves the extension of invasive tumor cells through the lymph node capsule into the perinodal ...

Genotype–Phenotype Discordance in Cardiomyopathies: Pathophysiology, Clinical Expression, and Therapeutic Considerations

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiomyopathies encompass a spectrum of myocardial disorders often attributed to underlying genetic mutations. However, genotype–phenotype discordance where the genetic profile does not align with the expected clinical presentation poses significant diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic challenges.

Monolysocardiolipin in cultured fibroblasts is a sensitive and specific marker for Barth Syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in abnormal metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). CLs are decreased and monolysocardiolipins (MLCLs), intermediates in CL metabolism, are increased in a variety

Survival and Clinical Progression in Barth Syndrome: Insights From the Barth Syndrome Foundation's Database of 502 Affected Individuals

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Barth syndrome (BTHS; OMIM 302060) is an ultra‐rare, life‐limiting genetic disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle myopathy, neutropenia, gastrointestinal issues, and fatigue. Formal analyses of survival and clinical progression remain limited.

Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Pancreatic β Cell Function: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...

Stimulating myocardial pyruvate dehydrogenase activity fails to alleviate cardiac abnormalities in a mouse model of human Barth syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disorder due to mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, leading to impaired maturation of cardiolipin and thereby adversely affecting mitochondrial function and energy metabolism, often resulting in cardiomyopathy.
