J Neurol 257:1730-3. 2010..In conclusion, neurologists should be aware that intracranial artery abnormalities are not infrequent in patients with late-onset Pompe disease, and they should be specifically investigated in the presence of unexplained CNS symptoms...
Coenzyme Q10 is frequently reduced in muscle of patients with mitochondrial myopathySabrina Sacconi
Centre de Référence des maladies Neuromusculaires, Nice Hospital, CNRS, UMR 6543, Faculte de Medicine, Nice, France
Neuromuscul Disord 20:44-8. 2010..This study provides a rationale for future therapeutic trials on the effect of CoQ(10) supplementation in patients with mitochondrial diseases presenting with myopathy among clinical features...

Féderation des maladies neuromusculaires, CHU de Nice and INSERM U638, Nice, France
Hum Mol Genet 17:1814-20. 2008..Moreover, similar mutations arising stochastically and accumulating in a minority of mtDNA molecules during the aging process may severely impair RC function in cells...
Mutation analysis of COX18 in 29 patients with isolated cytochrome c oxidase deficiencySabrina Sacconi
Centre de Référence des Maladies Neuromusculaires et CNRS UMR 6543, Faculte de Medecine, Universite de Nice, Nice, France
J Hum Genet 54:419-21. 2009..No pathogenic mutations were detected in our cohort of patients indicating that COX18 mutations may be very rare or associated with other phenotypes than isolated COX deficiency in infancy...
Hierarchization of myogenic and adipogenic progenitors within human skeletal muscleDidier F Pisani
Institute of Developmental Biology and Cancer, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, CNRS, UMR6543, Nice, France
Stem Cells 28:2182-94. 2010..These results provide cellular bases for adipogenic differentiation in human skeletal muscle, which may explain the fat development encountered in different muscle pathological situations...
Do patients having a decrease in SNAP amplitude during the course of MMN present with a different condition?Emilien Delmont
Centre de référence pour Maladies NeuroMusculaires et SLA, hôpital Archet 1, CHU de Nice, route Saint Antoine de Ginestiere, BP3079, 06202 Nice Cedex 3, France
J Neurol 256:1876-80. 2009..4 g/(kg 4 weeks vs. 0.6; p = 0.018). A reduction in SNAP amplitude during the course of MMNCB is associated with a more severe disease and a more prominent axonal loss. This result needs to be confirmed in a larger cohort...
Isolation of a highly myogenic CD34-negative subset of human skeletal muscle cells free of adipogenic potentialDidier F Pisani
Institute of Developmental Biology and Cancer, Faculty of Medicine, University of Nice Sophia Antipolis, CNRS, Nice, France
Stem Cells 28:753-64. 2010..The simple CD34 sorting allows isolation of myogenic cells with no adipogenic potential and therefore could be of high interest for cell therapy when fat is accumulated in diseased muscle...

INSERM U582, , Institut de Myologie, Paris, France
Gene Ther 12:1651-62. 2005..These data suggest that myoblasts expanded from unaffected FSHD muscles may be suitable tools in view of autologous cell transplantation clinical trials...
