BoNT/Aintoxication of LAN5 cells induces massive tRF changes. (A) Experimental design: 2×106 LAN5 cells/well were intoxicated by 10,000 MsLD50/mL BoNT/A, and small RNA-seq profiles from these cells ...
Two research groups have designed chimeric fusion proteins that constitute a new “trojan horse” approach to neutralize lethal botulinum toxins. Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs)—a family of bacterial ...
Local injections of botulinum toxin type A have been used to treat essential head tremor but have not been extensively studied in randomized trials. In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized trial, ...
