Delivering the Message: Translating mRNA Therapy for Liver Inherited Metabolic Diseases

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) provides a dual revolution in the field of gene therapy. mRNA brings fleeting efficacy and the possibility to adjust the therapy to clinical needs. LNP, as a non‐viral vehicle with flexible organ‐targeting, overcomes most immune complications of viral gene therapy. mRNA‐LNP has rapidly progressed

Practical Recommendations for Indians on Sunscreen Use—A Modified Delphi Consensus by Indian Sunscreen Forum (PRISM‐ISF)

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major contributor to photoaging, pigmentary disorders, and photocarcinogenesis. While sunscreens remain central to photoprotection, clinicians in India find it challenging to choose a sunscreen due to the wide variability in skin types, dermatologic conditions, climates, and formulation preferences ...

Seminars in epileptology: How to diagnose status epilepticus in adults and children

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 530-549, August 2025.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) can be regarded as the most severe expression of seizure activity characterized by a low probability of spontaneous cessation and mechanisms leading to metabolic and inflammatory derangements with increased risk of brain damage, alterations of neural networks, and potentially life‐threatening systemic complications ...

Gene Dosage Sensitivity and Human Genetic Diseases

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Here we review the historical background and contemporary insights into genetic dominance, focusing on haploinsufficiency (HI), that is, when the function of only one allele of a gene is not enough to ensure a normal phenotype in a diploid organism.
