Macrophages: Subtypes, Distribution, Polarization, Immunomodulatory Functions, and Therapeutics
Macrophages originate from the yolk sac, fetal liver, and bone marrow, differentiating into two main subtypes: M1‐like (proinflammatory) and M2‐like (anti‐inflammatory). These subtypes exhibit high plasticity, allowing them to transform in response to environmental cues or therapeutic interventions.

A Brief History of Inherited Metabolic Diseases: A Personal 60 Years Clinical Flashback
ABSTRACT The concept of IMDs has evolved over a century from rare deficits in amino acid catabolism diagnosed by the accumulation of biochemical markers such as phenylketonuria (PKU) to diseases affecting organelle metabolism, synthesis of complex molecules, and cellular trafficking.

Therapies for Mitochondrial Disease: Past, Present, and Future
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial disease is a diverse group of clinically and genetically complex disorders caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA‐encoded genes that disrupt mitochondrial energy production or other important mitochondrial pathways. Mitochondrial disease can present with a wide spectrum of clinical features and can often be

Dedifferentiation and aberrations of the endolysosomal compartment characterize the early stage of nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
Nephropathic cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin, is characterized by generalized proximal tubule (PT) dysfunction that progresses, if untreated, to end-stage ...

CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing of Hematopoietic Stem Cells from Patients with Friedreich's Ataxia. [PDF]
Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by expansion of GAA repeats in intron 1 of the frataxin (FXN) gene, leading to significant decreased expression of frataxin, a mitochondrial iron-binding protein.

Synthetic Control of Water‐Stable Hybrid Perovskitoid Semiconductors
Hybrid metal‐halide perovskites are promising semiconductors for optoelectronics, yet their water stability is problematic. A new synthesis method is developed using lead iodide and cysteamine under various pH conditions, forming stable perovskitoid structures.

Diagnostic challenge in a patient with nephropathic juvenile cystinosis: a case report
Background Cystinosis is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder characterized by the accumulation of cystine in lysosomes. Cystinosis is much rarer in Asian than Caucasian populations. There are only 14 patients have with cystinosis alive in Japan.
