Malignant Hyperthermia-Associated Rhabdomyolysis After Succinylcholine: A Case Report.

Malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition that lies on the spectrum of malignant hyperthermia (MH). Unlike MH, malignant-hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis is a condition which most commonly is recognized in the postoperative period by the development of discolored brown urine with notably absent rigidity, tachypnea, tachycardia, and hyperthermia. The presented case describes the subtle onset of malignant hyperthermia-associated rhabdomyolysis, along with a review of relevant literature.

Generation of a CLTA reporter human induced pluripotent stem cell line, CRMi001-A-1, using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to monitor endogenous clathrin trafficking.

The most highly studied endocytic pathway, clathrin-dependent endocytosis, mediates a wide range of fundamental processes including nutrient internalization, receptor recycling, and signal transduction. In order to model tissue specific and developmental aspects of this process, CRISPR/Cas9 genomic editing was utilized to fluorescently label the C-terminus of clathrin light chain A (CLTA) within the phenotypically normal, parental CRMi001-A human induced pluripotent stem cell line. Successfully edited cells were isolated by fluorescently activated cell sorting, remained karyotypically normal, and maintained their differentiation potential. This cell line facilitates imaging of endogenous clathrin trafficking within varied cell types.
