The Nutritional Significance of Inborn Errors of Amino Acid Metabolism

Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism, 1977
Inborn errors of metabolism affect the metabolism of 7 out of 8 essential amino acids and a number of non-essential ones. Dietary treatment has been applied with varying success. The wide variations in the severity of symptoms in this group of diseases are discussed.

Biomimetic, Suturable, and Extensible Electrospun Scaffolds for Lower Urinary Tract Surgical Reconstruction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic, suturable, biodegradable fibrous scaffolds are engineered to mimic the tensile properties of LUT tissue using photocrosslinked 5:5% weight per volume elastin‐like peptide and methacrylated gelatin (5E5G). In vitro, urothelium, smooth muscle, and fibroblast 7 day cytocompatibility is demonstrated.

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.

A Study of Skeletal Stem Cell Dynamics and Its Potential Applications in the Design of a Titanium Implant for Senile Osteoporosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Senescent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) drive age‐related osteoporosis (A‐OP) via adipogenic bias. Resveratrol, selected from transcriptome‐identified core genes, is delivered locally using GelMA‐chitosan hydrogel‐functionalised titanium implants. In A‐OP microenvironments, the hydrogel enables the sustained release of resveratrol, which reverses ...

Diagnostic pitfalls in neonatal hypertyrosinemia: a case report

Life Sciences, Medicine and Biomedicine, 2023
Hypertyrosinemia results from abnormality in tyrosine metabolism. Acquired hypertyrosinemia is notably more common than inherited types and typically presents with profile suggestive of secondary aetiology on biochemical testing.

The Expanding Clinical and Genetic Spectrum of Muscle Glycogen Storage Disease 0, (GSD0B)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glycogen storage disorders are a group of genetic disorders affecting glucose homeostasis in the body. Muscular glycogen stores are essential for liberating glucose for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. Muscle glycogen storage disease 0 (GSD0B) is associated with biallelic variants in GYS1 causing muscular ...

Vitamin B2 enables regulation of fasting glucose availability

eLife, 2023
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) interacts with flavoproteins to mediate oxidation-reduction reactions required for cellular energy demands. Not surprisingly, mutations that alter FAD binding to flavoproteins cause rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs)

Identification and Characterization of a Novel Biallelic SLC12A2 Variant Associated With Kilquist Syndrome (OMIM #619080)

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the case of a child with multiple congenital anomalies, severe hypotonia, and profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Functional bioenergetic assessments showed no significant mitochondrial respiratory defects, and riboflavin (Rf) status evaluation excluded a deficiency in Rf transporters as a cause of hearing loss ...

Use of a neuron-glia genome-scale metabolic reconstruction to model the metabolic consequences of the Arylsulphatase a deficiency through a systems biology approach

Heliyon, 2021
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a human neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive damage on the myelin band in the nervous system. MLD is caused by the impaired function of the lysosomal enzyme Arylsulphatase A (ARSA).

Case Series of Nizon‐Isidor Syndrome by Heterozygous Variants in MED12L With Further Evidence of Mitotic Instability in One Case With Diploid–Triploid Mosaicism

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nizon‐Isidor syndrome is a rare disorder caused by heterozygous variants in MED12L, with only eight documented cases in the literature. Here, we present three additional cases of this syndrome. Proband 1 was a 7‐year‐old female who presented with developmental delay, right‐leg hemihypertrophy, laryngeal cleft, esotropia, abnormal skin ...
