Expanding the clinical and genetic spectrum of GLUL-related developmental and epileptic encephalopathy [PDF]
The GLUL gene encodes glutamine synthetase (GS), which plays a crucial role in glutamine–glutamate homeostasis. Both loss-of-function and gain-of-function variants of GLUL are known to cause genetic disorders in humans.

ALDH1L1 reverses CD8+ T cell exhaustion in the oral squamous cell carcinoma microenvironment by reprogramming L-glutamate metabolism [PDF]
Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) induces CD8⁺ T-cell exhaustion within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through metabolic reprogramming, contributing to the limited efficacy of immunotherapy. Targeting tumor metabolism is a pivotal strategy.
