Biallelic variants in COX18 identified as cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease

Jan. 16, 2026
No Comments

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous sensorimotor peripheral neuropathies. It is the most frequent inherited neuromuscular disorder affecting 9.7-82.3 patients per 100,000 individuals. Over 100 genes with all patterns of inheritance have been linked to CMT. These genes encode proteins involved in nerve-specific processes, such as axonal transport, myelination and synaptic transmission, and in general housekeeping pathways. However, the reason underlying why defects in such ubiquitous proteins predominantly affect peripheral nerves remains unclear.

About one-third of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) are treatment resistant. Ketamine is very effective in treatment-resistant depression, but it is associated with psychotomimetic effects. Metabotropic glutamate mGlu2 and mGlu3 receptors negatively regulate the release of glutamate and are involved in the pathogenesis of depression.

New insights bring clarity to multiple sclerosis’ EBV connection

Jan. 15, 2026
By Coia Dulsat
No Comments
For decades, scientists have searched for a mechanistic link between viral infection and multiple sclerosis (MS). Insights from three studies recently published in Cell bring that connection into sharper focus. By tracing how the immune system responds to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) – and how those responses can misfire against the brain – researchers are beginning to uncover a compelling biological explanation for MS.
