Upper Limb Evaluation in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Fat-Water Quantification by MRI, Muscle Force and Function Define Endpoints for Clinical Trials. by Valeria Ricotti, Matthew R B Evans, Christopher D J Sinclair, Jordan W Butler, Deborah A Ridout, Jean-Yves Hogrel, Ahmed Emira, Jasper M Morrow, Mary M Reilly, Michael G Hanna, Robert L Janiczek, Paul M Matthews, Tarek A Yousry, Francesco Muntoni, John S Thornton

“…The aims of our study were to explore the responsiveness of upper-limb MRI muscle-fat measurement as a non-invasive objective endpoint for clinical trials in non-ambulant DMD, and to investigate the relationship of these MRI measures to those of muscle force and function.<h4>Methods</h4>15 non-ambulant DMD boys (mean age 13.3 y) and 10 age-gender matched healthy controls (mean age 14.6 y) were recruited. 3-Tesla MRI fat-water quantification was used to measure forearm muscle fat transformation in non-ambulant DMD boys compared with healthy controls. …”

Mapping the human phosphatome on growth pathways by Francesca Sacco, Pier Federico Gherardini, Serena Paoluzi, Julio Saez‐Rodriguez, Manuela Helmer‐Citterich, Antonella Ragnini‐Wilson, Luisa Castagnoli, Gianni Cesareni

“…A literature‐derived optimized model is used to infer the cell activation state following upregulation or downregulation of the model entities. By matching this signature with the experimental profile obtained in the high‐throughput siRNA screening it is possible to infer the target of each protein, thus defining its ‘entry point’ in the network. …”
