Pancreatic Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy and the seventh leading cause of global cancer deaths in industrialised countries. More than 80% of patients suffer from significant weight loss at diagnosis and over time tend to develop severe cachexia. A major cause of weight loss is malnutrition. Patients may experience pancreatic exocrine insufficiency

Enzyme Replacement Therapy in the Treatment of Fabry Disease
Fabry disease is an X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by the mutation of GLA gene that encodes α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). GLA gene mutation causes the decline or deficiency in the activity of α-Gal A, leading to the accumulation of ...

Novel Enzyme Replacement Therapies for Neuropathic Mucopolysaccharidoses [PDF]
Although the advent of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) has paved the way for the treatment for these hereditary disorders, the blood brain barrier (BBB) has prevented patients with MPS involving the central nervous system (CNS) from benefitting from ERT.
