Therapy of Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare, genetic, metabolic disease with an estimated prevalence of between 1 per 25,000 and 56,000. Its main hallmarks are characteristic skin lesions, development of choroidal neovascularization, and early-onset ...

Gram‐Scale Synthesis of an Arylsulfonamide‐Type Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor
A larger amount of a tissue‐nonspecific alkaline phosphatase inhibitor, 5‐((5‐chloro‐2‐methoxyphenyl)sulfonamido)nicotinamide, was synthesized in five steps using a parallel method without the need for chromatography or crystallization. Because a single batch was used for in vivo studies in a large population of mice, the pharmacological results were ...

Generation of fully functional fluorescent fusion proteins to gain insights into ABCC6 biology
ABCC6 mediates release of ATP from hepatocytes into the blood. Extracellularly, ATP is converted into the mineralization inhibitor pyrophosphate. Consequently, inactivating mutations in ABCC6 give low plasma pyrophosphate and underlie the ectopic ...

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Comprehensive analysis of genomic mutations, gene expression, DNA methylation, and pathway analysis of TCGA data was carried out to define cancer types in which proteasome subunits expression is associated with worse survival. Albeit the effect of specific proteasome subunits on cellular function, the main role of the proteasome is better evaluated ...

Rearrangements of the ABCC6 gene in Italian patients with PXE
The objective of this study was to search for the deletion of exon 24 and exons 24-27 that had been previously reported in Italian patients affected by pseudoxanthoma elasticum, anb autosomal recessive disorder characterized by calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers as a conseguence of mutations in the ABCC6 gene.

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: Transporters
The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,
