An Isogenic Human Myoblast Cell Model for Cystinosis Myopathy Reveals Alteration of Key Myogenic Regulatory Proteins [PDF]
Background Cystinosis is a rare multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunction or loss of cystinosin (CTNS), which results in lysosomal cystine accumulation, primarily affecting the kidneys.

Cystinosin regulates Na+/H+ exchanger 3 trafficking and function in kidney proximal tubular cells [PDF]
Cystinosis is a systemic lysosomal storage disease resulting from mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin, leading to cystine accumulation in all organs.

Integrated transcriptomic and tissue-validation analyses identify palmitoylation-associated biomarkers linked to sphingolipid metabolism and immune remodeling in psoriasis [PDF]
BackgroundPsoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal dysfunction, aberrant keratinocyte activation, and complex immune remodeling. Although lipid dysregulation has increasingly been implicated in psoriasis,

Ultrasound in cervical traumatic neuromas after neck dissection in thyroid carcinoma patients: descriptive analysis and diagnostic accuracy [PDF]
Objective: Cervical traumatic neuromas (CTNs) may appear after lateral neck dissection for metastatic thyroid carcinoma. If they are misdiagnosed as metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) in follow-up neck ultrasound (US), unnecessary and uncomfortable fine-needle

Biology of Cardiac Troponins: Emphasis on Metabolism
Understanding of the biology of endo- and exogenous molecules, in particular their metabolism, is not only of great theoretical importance, but also of high practical significance, since many molecules serve as drug targets or markers for the laboratory ...
