Synthesis of diacylated γ-glutamyl-cysteamine prodrugs, and in vitro evaluation of their cytotoxicity and intracellular delivery of cysteamine [PDF]
, 2015 To overcome the major disadvantages of cysteamine, the only registered treatment for the rare genetic disease cystinosis, nine prodrugs of γ-glutamyl-cysteamine (4) were synthesized for evaluation.

Low density lipoprotein oxidation by ferritin at lysosomal pH [PDF]
, 2018 Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We have previously shown that LDL can be oxidised by iron in lysosomes.

Cystinosis and two rare mutations in CTNS gene: two case reports
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022 Background Cystinosis is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by an accumulation of the amino acid cystine in lysosomes throughout the body. Cystinosis is an inherited disease resulting from the failure of lysosomal cystine transport.

Grip Strength in Adults and Children with Cystinosis
Kidney International Reports, 2021 Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with impaired muscle strength. Patients with cystinosis have an increased risk for impaired muscle strength because of early development of CKD and cystinosis-induced myopathy.

Organoids for Metabolic Disease Modeling
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are a diverse group of rare genetic disorders that disrupt metabolic pathways, leading to severe clinical manifestations. Disease models ranging from complex animal models to simple in vitro systems have provided insights into IMDs, but each has limitations.

Interaction between galectin-3 and cystinosin uncovers a pathogenic role of inflammation in kidney involvement of cystinosis. [PDF]
, 2019 Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms are often unknown. Here, we test whether cystinosin, the protein involved in cystinosis, is a critical regulator of galectin-3, a member of the β ...
