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 ...

Drug delivery in overcoming the blood-brain barrier: role of nasal mucosal grafting [PDF]
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays a fundamental role in protecting and maintaining the homeostasis of the brain. For this reason, drug delivery to the brain is much more difficult than that to other compartments of the body. In order to bypass or cross

Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Murine Hypophosphatasia [PDF]
Abstract Introduction: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the inborn error of metabolism that features rickets or osteomalacia caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) within the gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isozyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNALP).

Modifying enzyme replacement therapy – A perspective
AbstractSeveral diseases are caused by the lack of functional proteins, including lysosomal storage diseases or haemophilia A and B. Patients suffering from one of these diseases are treated via enzyme replacement therapies to restore the missing protein.
