Corticospinal Tract Wiring and Brain Lesion Characteristics in Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: Determinants of Upper Limb Motor and Sensory Function by Cristina Simon-Martinez, Ellen Jaspers, Lisa Mailleux, Els Ortibus, Katrijn Klingels, Nicole Wenderoth, Hilde Feys

“…Sensory function was predicted by the combination of a large and later lesion and an ipsilateral or bilateral CST wiring, which led to increased sensory deficits (p<0.05). These novel insights contribute to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of UL function and may be useful to delineate individualized treatment strategies.…”

SINE retrotransposons import polyadenylation signals to 3’UTRs in dog (Canis familiaris) by Jessica D. Choi, Lelani A. Del Pinto, Nathan B. Sutter

“…Conclusion Dog Can-SINE retrotransposition has imported AATAAA PASs into gene transcripts and led to alteration of 3’UTRs. AATAAA sequences are selectively removed from Can-SINEs in introns and upstream 3’UTR regions but are retained at the far downstream end of 3’UTRs, which we infer reflects their role as termination sequences for these transcripts.…”
