January Neurofibromatosis Research Roundup

Posted by: Kim Hunter-Schaedle

Recently published NF papers cover a range of topics. These include:  the controversial issue of using radiotherapy to treat NF2 tumors; how a patient's NF2 genetic status might predict severity of the condition;   molecular advances in understanding the function of NF2 protein merlin (by recent CTF Young Investigator Awardee Timmy Mani);  a role for the Spred-1 (Legius Syndrome) gene in controlling brain development and patterning; new zebrafish models of NF1 that have vascular and cardiac valve abnormalities; speech charasteristics seen in NF1 patients; and the first case of germ line mosaicism in schwannomatosis.  For more on what’s new in NF publications, read the January Research Roundup.

A group of people, the MBT shoes, the employees on the

latest most of the time to keep the love. If they normally wear running shoes all the

time, they will be back and joint pain and could not walk a litter more. But if they wear

MBT shoes, the situation is quite different. They feel

their feet are strong and was not tired, even if they run a long time. So they can finish

their work effectively.hlm
