Proximal spinal muscular atrophy is an autosomal recessive human disease of spinal motor
neurons leading to muscular weakness with onset predominantly in infancy and childhood. …

Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognise conserved microbial metabolites from
riboflavin synthesis. Striking evolutionary conservation and pulmonary abundance implicate …

Diabetic neuropathy (DNP), afflicting sensory and motor nerve fibers, is a major complication
in diabetes. The underlying cellular mechanisms of axon degeneration are poorly …

The avian ITA is homologous to the baculoviral and mammalian inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP)
proteins, which can prevent apoptosis by inhibition of specific caspases. We investigated the …

Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize conserved microbial metabolites from
riboflavin synthesis. Striking evolutionary conservation and pulmonary abundance implicate …

The microtubule cytoskeleton is critical for the generation and maturation of neurons in the
developing mammalian nervous system. We have previously shown that mutations in the β-…

Members of the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)/leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)/cardiotrophin
gene family are potent survival factors for embryonic and lesioned motoneurons. These …

Chronic denervation is one of the key factors that affect nerve regeneration. Chronic
axotomy deteriorates the distal nerve stump, causes protein changes, and renders the …

Emerging evidence supports a potential therapeutic role of relaxin in fibrotic diseases, including
chronic kidney disease. Relaxin is a pleiotropic hormone, best characterized for its role …

… To Angela Glenn and Jenn Rafanan who make our lives less stressful, more organized
and more fun, thank you so much. The work you do can never be appreciated enough. To Bill …
