Currently there are no effective treatments for an array of neurodegenerative disorders to a large part because cell-based models fail to recapitulate disease. Here we develop a reproducible human iPSC-based model where laser axotomy causes retrograde axon degeneration leading to neuronal cell death. Time-lapse confocal imaging revealed that damage triggers an apoptotic wave of mitochondrial fission proceeding from the site of injury to the soma.

This study aims to explore the role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in peripheral nerve regeneration after injury. S1P is a crucial metabolite involved in cell migration, inflammation, and nerve regeneration. In this research, six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (total n=18) underwent transection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and were divided into three groups: S1PR agonist (FTY720) (n=6), saline control (n=6), and S1P1R antagonist (n=6).

ARL5 is a member of the ARF family of small GTPases that is recruited to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) by another ARF-family member, ARFRP1, in complex with the transmembrane protein SYS1. ARL5 recruits its effector, the multisubunit tethering complex GARP, to promote SNARE-dependent fusion of endosome-derived retrograde transport carriers with the TGN. To further investigate the function of ARL5, we sought to identify additional effectors.

Objective: Blister aneurysms of the internal carotid artery (ICA) are rare and are primarily documented in the literature through small series and case reports. The intraoperative observation of a hemorrhage in the artery wall proximal to the aneurysmal bulge led to the hypothesis that some of these aneurysms might develop in a retrograde manner.
Methods: We developed software to reconstruct the ICA with and without Type I and II blister aneurysms using patients' imagery as input to simulate hemodynamic conditions before and after their formation.

Introduction: Transurethral resection is the main method for diagnosing and staging bladder cancer, which allows to determine treatment tactics. Tumors located in the area of the ureteric orifice is an important clinical problem.
Aim: To describe our experience in the treatment of ureteral obliterations after transurethral resection of the bladder tumors.
