Dysferlin is a new marker for leaky brain blood vessels in multiple sclerosis

Dysferlin is a muscle protein involved in cell membrane repair and its deficiency is associated with muscular dystrophy. We describe that dysferlin is also expressed in leaky endothelial cells. In the normal central nervous system (CNS), dysferlin is only present in endothelial cells of circumventricular organs. In the inflamed CNS of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or in animals with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, dysferlin reactivity is induced in endothelial cells and the expression is associated with vascular leakage of serum proteins. In MS, dysferlin expression in endothelial cells is not restricted to vessels with inflammatory cuffs but is also present in noninflamed vessels. In addition, many blood vessels with perivascular inflammatory infiltrates lack dysferlin expression in inactive lesions or in the normal-appearing white matter. In vitro, dysferlin can be induced in endothelial cells by stimulation with tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Hence, dysferlin is not only a marker for leaky brain vessels, but also reveals dissociation of perivascular inflammatory infiltrates and blood-brain barrier disturbance in multiple sclerosis.

Commentary on: Berger-Karin C, Hendricks U, Geyer-Lippmann J. Comparison of natural and artificial aging of ballpoint inks

We would like to comment this study recently published in JFS. It is a short technical note proposing an artificial aging technique for the dating of ballpoint pen inks. This is a very difficult and controversial topic, and we are worried about the nature of this paper. The authors propose several ideas to differentiate fast aging and slow aging inks, but their experimental data is not validly represented and/or discussed. The data is insufficient to draw any conclusions about any potential of the method for ink dating purposes. This lack of information on the subject must be filled before proposing such methods for practical caseworks. These are preliminary and unconvincing results from development research performed in a laboratory on controlled samples without due warnings about potential shortcomings. They cannot be used or even compared to results obtained in real situations on uncontrolled specimens of limited size, unknown composition and undefined storage conditions. This can leave an undeserved feeling that these methods are ready for implementation when the task of ensuring their scientific validity is still far away.
