Neurodegeneration: A Case of Arrested Development?

The neurodegenerative disease Spinocerebellar ataxia type 1 (SCA1) is a polyglutamine expansion disorder characterized by the death of Purkinje neurons in the brain. In this issue, Serra et al. (2006) implicate the impaired function of the orphan nuclear receptor RORalpha in SCA1 pathogenesis. Their intriguing results suggest that derailing a transcription program during embryonic development m...

Arrested pneumatization: witness of paranasal sinuses development?

OBJECTIVES Recent radiological studies have demonstrated that formation of the sphenoid sinus is preceded by a phase of fatty transformation of the bone marrow, and then by a phase of fat involution prior to the appearance of an aerated cavity and that this process can sometimes be interrupted, resulting in the persistence of images of arrested pneumatisation. The objective of the study was to ...

Autophagosome Maturation and Fusion.

Macroautophagy, or simply autophagy, is a degradative pathway that delivers cytoplasmic components, including cytosol and organelles, to the lysosome in double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes. This process is initiated at the pre-autophagosomal structure or phagophore assembly site and involves a number of highly conserved autophagy-related proteins. These support the generation and con...
