Background In adolescents with non-pathological and pathological joint hypermobility, gait deviations have been associated with pain and fatigue. It remains unclear what distinguishes the non-pathological form of joint hypermobility (JH) from pathological forms (i.e. hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome …

The 1983-1984 die-off of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum stands out as a catastrophic marine event because of its detrimental effects on Caribbean coral reefs. Without the grazing activities of this key herbivore, turf and macroalgae became the dominant benthic group, inhibiting coral recruitment …

RATIONALE: To date, causal therapy is potentially available for GRIN2B-related neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) due to loss-of-function (LoF) variants in GRIN2B, resulting in dysfunction of the GluN2B subunit-containing N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). Recently, in vitro experiments showed that …
