A missense mutation (C667F) in beta-dystroglycan results in reduced dystroglycan protein levels leading to myopathy and destabilization of the blood-brain and blood-retinal barrier protein network

R. L. Tan, F. Sciandra, W. Huebner, M. Bozzi, J. Reimann, S. Schoch, A. Brancaccio, S. Blaess

This study creates a mouse model of a beta-dystroglycan mutation causing myopathy and altered blood-brain and blood-retinal barrier protein networks, but not severe developmental issues seen in humans.

The consequence of ATP synthase dimer angle on mitochondrial morphology studied by cryo-electron tomography

E. Buzzard, M. McLaren, P. Bragoszewski, A. Brancaccio, H. Ford, B. Daum, P. Kuwabara, I. Collinson, V. Gold

The paper uses cryo-electron tomography to study ATP synthase dimer angles in C. elegans and compares them to yeast, revealing differences in mitochondrial morphology and potential functional implications.
