Mechanisms underlying CSD initiation implicated by genetic mouse models of migraine by Daniela Pietrobon, K.C. Brennan

“…Important insights into this question can be obtained by studying the mechanisms of facilitation of CSD initiation in genetic mouse models of the disease. These models, all generated from families with hereditary migraine, allow the investigation of the functional consequences of disease-causing mutations at the molecular, cellular, synaptic and neural circuit levels. …”

Environmental and Genetic Variables Influencing Mitochondrial Health and Parkinson’s Disease Penetrance by Alessandra Zanon, Peter P. Pramstaller, Andrew A. Hicks, Irene Pichler

“…The identification and validation of such modifiers leading to reduced penetrance or increased susceptibility in the case of heterozygous carriers of recessive mutations are relevant for a better understanding of mechanisms contributing to disease onset. We discuss genetic and environmental factors as well as mitochondrial DNA alterations and protein-protein interactions, all involved in mitochondrial function, as potential causes to modify penetrance of mutations in dominant PD genes and to determine manifestation of heterozygous mutations in recessive PD genes.…”

A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm for Satellite Image Downlink Scheduling Problem by Bingyu Song, Feng Yao, Yuning Chen, Yingguo Chen, Yingwu Chen

“…A schedule generation algorithm (SGA) is proposed to assign the downlink time window for each scheduled request according to a given request permutation. A hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) combined with neighborhood search is proposed to optimize the downlink request permutation with the purpose of maximizing the utility function. …”

Genetic Variations and mRNA Expression of NRF2 in Parkinson’s Disease by Caroline Ran, Karin Wirdefeldt, Lovisa Brodin, Mehrafarin Ramezani, Marie Westerlund, Fengqing Xiang, Anna Anvret, Thomas Willows, Olof Sydow, Anders Johansson, Dagmar Galter, Per Svenningsson, Andrea Carmine Belin

“…We have investigated the association between NRF2 and Parkinson’s disease in a Swedish case-control material and whether NRF2 expression levels correlate with NRF2 genetic variants, disease, or disease onset. Using pyrosequencing, we genotyped one intronic and three promoter variants in 504 patients and 509 control subjects from Stockholm. …”
