Do mitochondrial proteomics reveal potential targets involved in mitochondrial abnormalities of desminopathy?
The study provides an overall perspective of the mitochondrial proteome plasticity in a case of desminopathy with mitochondrial abnormalities. The expression patterns of protein associated with MPTP indicate that desmin might affect MPTP complex as potential targets involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in desminopathy. However, the precise underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated. .
While we found similar levels of physical activity measured by accelerometry in patients with CF compared to healthy controls in general, young school-aged children showed less engagement in strenuous activities than their healthy counterparts. As the reduced physical activity in young school children was not likely to be explained by the disease state, strenuous physical activity may be enhanced by advocating exercise and sport.
