Isozaki A, Kita K, Tiffany Ishii N, Oka Y, Herbig M, Yamagishi M, et al.
Cytometry A . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39982013
T cells play a pivotal role in the immune system's response to various conditions. They are activated by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) via T-cell surface receptors, resulting in cytokine production and...

Ando M, Higuchi Y, Yuan J, Yoshimura A, Yano C, Hobara T, et al.
J Neurol . 2025 Feb; 272(3):191. PMID: 39932579
Background: Inherited peripheral neuropathies (IPNs) encompass a wide range of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system, often with complex genetic causes and frequent underdiagnosis. The variants in the superoxide dismutase...

Kim O, Okamoto Y, Kaufmann W, Brose N, Shigemoto R, Jonas P
PLoS Biol . 2024 Nov; 22(11):e3002879. PMID: 39556620
It is widely believed that information storage in neuronal circuits involves nanoscopic structural changes at synapses, resulting in the formation of synaptic engrams. However, direct evidence for this hypothesis is...

Miki T, Okamoto Y, Ueno-Umegai M, Toyofuku R, Hattori S, Sakaba T
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Oct; 121(43):e2402152121. PMID: 39405348
Synaptic-vesicle (SV) recruitment is thought to maintain reliable neurotransmitter release during high-frequency signaling. However, the mechanism underlying the SV reloading for sustained neurotransmission at central synapses remains unknown. To elucidate...

Hobara T, Higuchi Y, Yoshida M, Suehara M, Ando M, Yuan J, et al.
Acta Neuropathol Commun . 2024 Aug; 12(1):136. PMID: 39180105
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a genetic neurological disorder characterized by symmetric brain calcifications that manifest with variable neurological symptoms. This study aimed to explore the genetic basis of...

Hobara T, Ando M, Higuchi Y, Yuan J, Yoshimura A, Kojima F, et al.
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry . 2024 Jul; 96(2):140-149. PMID: 39013564
Background: The causative genes for over 60% of inherited peripheral neuropathy (IPN) remain unidentified. This study endeavours to enhance the genetic diagnostic rate in IPN cases by conducting screenings focused...

Kojima F, Okamoto Y, Ando M, Higuchi Y, Hobara T, Yuan J, et al.
Neurogenetics . 2024 Jan; 25(2):149-156. PMID: 38286980
Biallelic variants of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase-like (HPDL) gene have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders ranging from severe neonatal encephalopathy to early-onset spastic paraplegia. We identified a novel homozygous variant, c.340G > ...

Ando M, Higuchi Y, Yuan J, Yoshimura A, Kojima F, Yamanishi Y, et al.
Ann Clin Transl Neurol . 2023 Nov; 11(1):96-104. PMID: 37916889
Background And Objectives: The GAA repeat expansion within the fibroblast growth factor 14 (FGF14) gene has been found to be associated with late-onset cerebellar ataxia. This study aimed to investigate...

Higuchi Y, Ando M, Kojima F, Yuan J, Hashiguchi A, Yoshimura A, et al.
J Neurol . 2023 Sep; 271(1):419-430. PMID: 37750949
Background And Objective: Biallelic mutations in the COA7 gene have been associated with spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 3 (SCAN3), and a notable clinical diversity has been observed. We...

Okamoto Y, Takashima H
Genes (Basel) . 2023 Jul; 14(7). PMID: 37510296
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and associated neuropathies are the most predominant genetically transmitted neuromuscular conditions; however, effective pharmacological treatments have not established. The extensive genetic heterogeneity of CMT, which impacts the...
