ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease with aberrant immune dysregulation and bile duct fibrosis. It is often associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially ulcerative colitis, raising questions about distinct immune activation in these conditions.

Mutation in human CLPX elevates levels of δ-aminolevulinate synthase and protoporphyrin IX to promote erythropoietic protoporphyria [PDF]
Loss-of-function mutations in genes for heme biosynthetic enzymes can give rise to congenital porphyrias, eight forms of which have been described. The genetic penetrance of the porphyrias is clinically variable, underscoring the role of additional ...

Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

Acute intermittent porphyria: a test of clinical acumen
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare autosomal dominant hepatic porphyria due to deficiency of hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), also known as porphobilinogen deaminase leading to accumulation of porphyrin precursors.

Clinically Important Features of Porphyrin and Heme Metabolism and the Porphyrias
Heme, like chlorophyll, is a primordial molecule and is one of the fundamental pigments of life. Disorders of normal heme synthesis may cause human diseases, including certain anemias (X-linked sideroblastic anemias) and porphyrias.

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

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 ...
