UBA1 is an E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme that initiates the ubiquitylation of target proteins and is thus a key component of the ubiquitin signaling pathway. Three disorders are associated with pathogenic variants of the UBA1 gene: vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) syndrome, lung cancer in never smokers (LCINS), and X-linked spinal muscular atrophy (XL-SMA, SMAX2). We here report a case of infantile respiratory distress syndrome followed by continuing neuromuscular symptoms.

To analyze the morphologic changes and the extent of severity in end-stage heart disease; and to explore the correlation with their clinical features. Twelve cases of recipients who underwent pediatric cardiac allograft transplantation were collected from May 2022 to November 2023 at the Seventh Medical Center of People's Liberation Army of China General Hospital. Gross pathologic examinations were performed and morphological changes were observed under a light microscope after HE, Masson's trichrome, and reticulin staining.

Background: The evidence on the link between cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) and motor neuron diseases (MNDs) remains inconsistent. We aimed to determine whether there is an association of CMDs, namely, any cardiovascular disease, cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, thromboembolic disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus type 2, and hypercholesterolemia with the risk and progression of MNDs.
Methods: We included 1463 MND patients (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), progressive spinal muscular atrophy (PSMA), and unspecified MND) diagnosed from January 1, 2015, to July 1, 2023, in Sweden according to the Swedish Motor Neuron Disease Quality Registry (i.

Biological modelling helps understanding complex processes, like energy metabolism, by predicting pathway compensations and equilibrium under given conditions. When deciphering metabolic adaptations, traditional experiments face challenges due to numerous enzymatic activities, needing modelling to anticipate pathway behaviours and orientate research. This paper aims to implement a constraint-based modelling method of muscular energy metabolism, adaptable to individual situations, energy demands, and complex disease-specific metabolic alterations like muscular dystrophy calpainopathy.
