  • PALB2 is a tumor suppressor that helps with DNA repair and maintaining oxidative balance in cells, particularly in the brain.
  • Deleting PALB2 in mice leads to minor motor issues and worsens neurodegeneration when combined with the deletion of Atg7, a critical autophagy gene.
  • The joint deletion causes increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, especially affecting Purkinje cells, highlighting the importance of both PALB2 and autophagy in protecting neurons from degeneration.

Background: Blood glucose level (BGL) is routinely assessed by paramedics in the out-of-hospital setting. Most commonly, BGL is measured using a blood sample of capillary origin analyzed by a hand-held, point-of-care glucometer. In some clinical circumstances, the capillary sample may be replaced by blood of venous origin.
