Loss of the CoA-degrading enzyme NUDT19 exacerbates albuminuria and disrupts renal lipid homeostasis in high fat diet-fed mice [PDF]
Nudix hydrolase 19 (NUDT19) is a peroxisomal enzyme that hydrolyzes CoA species at the phosphodiester bond and has been linked to peroxisomal dysfunction in the context of diabetic kidney disease.

Autosomal dominant mitochondrial membrane protein‐associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) [PDF]
Background Mitochondrial membrane protein‐associated neurodegeneration (MPAN) is caused by pathogenic sequence variants in C19orf12. Autosomal recessive inheritance has been demonstrated.

Comparison of immune cells and diagnostic markers between spondyloarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by bioinformatics analysis [PDF]
Background Spondyloarthritis (SpA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are chronic autoimmune diseases, but they are usually difficult to distinguish in the early stage of the diseases.

When Pathways Converge: Iron, Lipid Peroxidation, and α-Synuclein in Ferroptosis-Driven Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration. [PDF]
Dopaminergic neurons are particularly susceptible to ferroptosis. Pacemaking activity–driven calcium (Ca2+) influx increases metabolic demand and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, promoting iron release from aconitase. Alpha‐synuclein (α‐syn) enhances iron uptake via transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and exhibits ferrireductase activity, converting

Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of Aβ deposition on PET in a Korean cohort. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Despite the recognized importance of including ethnic diversity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, substantial knowledge gaps remain, particularly in Asian populations. METHODS RNA sequencing was performed on blood samples from the Korean Brain Aging Study for the Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease (KBASE) to

RYR 1 Gene Mutation in Motor Neuron Disease: A 10-Year Case Observation. [PDF]
Motor neuron diseases (MND) are a group of rare, often severe, and life‐limiting progressive neurological disorders that primarily affect motor neurons, resulting in muscle weakness and loss of essential muscle functions. Genetic defects play a significant role in MND, contributing to their pathogenesis and progression.
