Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting the peripheral and central nervous system and is caused by bi-allelic variants in the GAN gene, leading to loss of functional gigaxonin protein. A treatment does not exist, but a first clinical trial using a gene therapy approach has recently been completed. Here, we conducted the first systematic study of GAN patients treated by German-speaking child neurologists.

Onset, progression and cardiovascular outcome of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are influenced by the concomitant sterile inflammation. The pro-inflammatory cytokine family interleukin (IL)-1 is crucial in CKD with the key alarmin IL-1α playing an additional role as an adhesion molecule that facilitates immune cell tissue infiltration and consequently inflammation. Here, we investigate calcium ion and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent regulation of different aspects of IL-1α-mediated inflammation.

Unlabelled: The mechanism used by polyomavirus and other viral SF3 helicases to unwind DNA at replication forks remains unknown. Using AlphaFold2, we have determined the structure of a representative SF3 helicase, the SV40 T-antigen (T-ag). This model has been analyzed in terms of the features of T-ag required for helicase activity, particularly the proximity of the T-ag origin binding domain (OBD) to the replication fork and the distribution of basic residues on the surface of the OBD that are known to play roles in DNA unwinding.

Our understanding of metabolic decline after acute COVID-19 remains unclear due to the lack of animal models. Here, we report a non-human primate model of metabolic post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 using SARS-CoV-2 infected African green monkeys.
