Acid ceramidase overactivity drives ceramide loss, leading to atopic dry skin and Th2‐skewed immune polarization

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 2, Page 232-247, June 2026.
Abstract Ceramide deficiency in the stratum corneum (SC) is a key etiological factor in atopic dermatitis (AD). To clarify the direct role of SC ceramide depletion in impairing SC barrier and water‐holding functions and in initiating AD‐like skin symptoms and disease‐specific molecular alterations, we generated Tg mice overexpressing a mutant form of ...

An Australian standard of care for Niemann–Pick disease type C

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 5, Page 832-848, May 2026.
Abstract Background Niemann–Pick disease type C (NP‐C) is the fifth most prevalent lysosomal disorder in Australia. Diagnostic delay is common, impacted by disease heterogeneity, limited awareness within clinical gateway services and exclusion from state‐based newborn screening programmes.

The clinical efficacy of imiglucerase versus eliglustat in patients with Gaucher's disease Type 1: A systematic review

Journal of Research in Pharmacy Practice, 2018
Gaucher's disease (GD) is one of the most common lysosomal diseases in humans. It results from β-glucosidase deficiency and leads to necrosis, especially in macrophages with the accumulation of glucosylceramidase in cells. Most of the deleterious effects
