Cyclo His-Pro Attenuates Muscle Degeneration in Murine Myopathy Models

Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Keno Strotjohann, Alessia De Masi

Among the inherited myopathies, a group of muscular disorders characterized by structural and metabolic impairments in skeletal muscle, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) stands out for its devastating progression. DMD pathogenesis is driven by the progress ...

Development and validation of an expanded antibody toolset that captures alpha-synuclein pathological diversity in Lewy body diseases

Hilal Lashuel, Johannes Burtscher, Melek Firat Altay, Somanath Jagannath

The abnormal aggregation and accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in the brain is a defining hallmark of synucleinopathies. Various aSyn conformations and post-translationally modified forms accumulate in pathological inclusions and vary in abundance amo ...

A synchrotron X-ray imaging strategy to map large animal brains

Giorgio Margaritondo, Ying Chen

Mapping the large neural networks of animal and human brains is a fundamental but so far elusive task, because of the massive amount of data and the consequent prohibitively long image taking and processing times. We developed an effective strategy called ...

In vivo evaluation of gene editing and prosthetic strategies to restore vision in small and large animal models of retinal degeneration

Paola Vagni

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) form a group of diverse disorders that lead to the degeneration of the light-sensing cells of the retina: the photoreceptors. IRDs are among the leading causes of blindness in working-age adults living in industrialized co ...

Extensive and diverse patterns of cell death sculpt neural networks in insects

Pavan P Ramdya, Chin-Lin Chen

Changes to the structure and function of neural networks are thought to underlie the evolutionary adaptation of animal behaviours. Among the many developmental phenomena that generate change programmed cell death (PCD) appears to play a key role. We show t ...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the rodent brain: Experts' consensus recommendations

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Cristina Ramona Cudalbu, Bernard Lanz

In vivo MRS is a non-invasive measurement technique used not only in humans, but also in animal models using high-field magnets. MRS enables the measurement of metabolite concentrations as well as metabolic rates and their modifications in healthy animals ...

Neuroprosthetic Technologies to Evaluate and Train Leg Motor Control in Neurologically Impaired Individuals

Camille Georgette Marie Le Goff-Mignardot

Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts many essential sensorimotor and autonomic functions. Consequently, individuals with SCI can face decades with permanent disabilities. Advances in clinical management have decreased morbidity, but no clinical trial has yet ...

Glucocorticoid deficiency causes transcriptional and post-transcriptional reprogramming of glutamine metabolism

Benjamin Dieter Weger, Meltem Weger

Background: Deficient glucocorticoid biosynthesis leading to adrenal insufficiency is life-threatening and is associated with significant co-morbidities. The affected pathways underlying the pathophysiology of co-morbidities due to glucocorticoid deficienc ...

The Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase, GuaB2, Is a Vulnerable New Bactericidal Drug Target for Tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Claudia Sala, Ruben Hartkoorn, Anthony Vocat, Andréanne Lupien, Raphael Christopher Sommer

VCC234718, a molecule with growth inhibitory activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), was identified by phenotypic screening of a 15344-compound library. Sequencing of a VCC234718-resistant mutant identified a Y487C substitution in the inosine mo ...

Implant-based three-dimensional superimposition of the growing mandible in a rabbit model

The reliable assessment of craniofacial morphological changes during growth requires invariant regions for image registration. As these regions have not yet been identified in three dimensions, intra-osseous implants are required as fiducial markers for th ...
