Abstract Mitochondrial defects result in dysregulation of metabolomics and energy homeostasis that are detected upper motor neurons (UMNs) with TDP-43 pathology, a pathology is predominantly present both familial sporadic cases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). While same mitochondrial problems the UMNs ALS patients mouse models, since pathologies shared at cellular level, regardless species, we first analyzed metabolite profile healthy diseased cortex to investigate whether metabolomic...
Mitochondrial defects are one of the common underlying causes neuronal vulnerability in neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and TDP-43 pathology is most commonly observed proteinopathy. Disrupted inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) reported upper motor neurons (UMNs) ALS patients with recapitulated UMNs well-characterized hTDP-43 mouse model ALS. The construct validity, shared cellular mice human, offers a unique opportunity to test treatment strategies...
Abstract Background Upper motor neurons (UMNs) are a key component of neuron circuitry. Their degeneration is hallmark for diseases, such as hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), and amyotrophic (ALS). Currently there no preclinical assays investigating cellular responses UMNs to compound treatment, even diseases the UMNs. The basis UMN vulnerability not fully understood, has yet been identified improve health diseased UMNs: two major roadblocks building...

Distribution network reconfiguration (DNR) has proved to be an economical and effective way improve the reliability of distribution systems. As optimal configuration depends on system operating states (e.g., loads at each node), existing analytical population-based approaches need repeat entire analysis computation find with a change in states. Contrary this, if properly trained, deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based DNR can determine or nearoptimal quickly even changes In this paper, Deep...
This article investigates the intricate dynamics between Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Microgrid Operator (MGO) within a microgrid interconnected with main grid. Employing an evolutionary game framework, study scrutinizes strategic evolution of DERs’ decision-making processes in their interactions MGO. Modeled as game, these encapsulate strategies adopted by DERs, resulting stable equilibrium over time. Motivated direct benefits linked to increased active power production, DERs...
