Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2983 more
- 08 Feb 2021 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical, molecular, and protein correlations in a large sample of genetically diagnosed Italian limb girdle muscular dystrophy patients.

M. Guglieri, +27 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: Compared to Northern European populations, Italian patients are less likely to be affected with LGMD2I, and the order of decreasing clinical severity was: sarcoglycanopathy, calpainopathy, dysferlinopathy, and caveolinopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

VMA21 deficiency prevents vacuolar ATPase assembly and causes autophagic vacuolar myopathy

Nivetha Ramachandran, +25 more
- 12 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: The results uncover a novel mechanism of disease, namely macroautophagic overcompensation leading to cell vacuolation and tissue atrophy in X-linked Myopathy with Excessive Autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycogen hyperphosphorylation underlies lafora body formation.

Julie Turnbull, +10 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: Whether Lafora bodies in the malin ubiquitin ligase‐deficient form of the disease are due to increased glycogen synthase or increased Glycogen phosphate is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered extracellular matrix transcript expression and protein modulation in primary Duchenne muscular dystrophy myotubes.

Simona Zanotti, +7 more
- 01 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is found that transcript expression and protein modulation of several ECM components is altered in D MD muscle cells in vitro, indicating that these cells contribute fundamentally to the pathological process, since the inflammation and degeneration characterizing DMD muscle in vivo are presumably absent in culture.
