Pathways and genes differentially expressed in the motor cortex of patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disorder caused by the progressive degeneration of motoneurons in brain and spinal cord. Despite identification of disease-linked mutations, the diversity of processes…

Levetiracetam in three cases of progressive myoclonus epilepsy.

Abstract We present three unrelated cases of genetically confirmed progressive myoclonic epilepsy of the Unverricht-Lundborg type who were treated with Levetiracetam as adjunctive therapy for their myoclonus. All cases responded…

A new amino-acid substitution in acetylcholinesterase 1 confers insecticide resistance to Culex pipiens mosquitoes from Cyprus.

Abstract In insects, selection of insecticide-insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a very common resistance mechanism. Mosquitoes possess both AChE1 and AChE2 enzymes and insensitivity is conferred by single amino-acid changes located…

Ancient DNA forces reconsideration of evolutionary history of Mediterranean pygmy elephantids.

Abstract During the Pleistocene pygmy elephantids, some only a quarter of their ancestors' size, were present on Mediterranean islands until about 10,000 years ago (y.a.). Using a new methodology for…
