Programmed neurite degeneration in human central nervous system neurons driven by changes in NAD+ metabolism by Markus Brüll, Selina Multrus, Michael Schäfer, Ivana Celardo, Christiaan Karreman, Marcel Leist

“…This process appeared specific, as isolated neurites maintained ATP levels and a coupled mitochondrial respiration for at least 6 h. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS) many studies observed that NAD+ metabolism, in particular by the NADase SARM1, plays a major role in the ND occurring after axotomy. …”

Neurologic Complications Associated with Sjögren’s Disease: Case Reports and Modern Pathogenic Dilemma by Michele Colaci, Giulia Cassone, Andreina Manfredi, Marco Sebastiani, Dilia Giuggioli, Clodoveo Ferri

“…Cranial nerve injury is a harmful complication of SS, even if less commonly recorded compared to peripheral neuropathy. Neurological manifestations may precede the clinical onset of SS; therefore, in patients with apparently isolated cranial nerve involvement, a correct diagnosis of the underlying SS is often delayed or overlooked entirely; in these instances, standard clinicoserological assessment is recommendable.…”
