Liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease [PDF]
TYPE IV glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (also called Andersen's disease1 or amylopectinosis) in which the activity of branching enzyme alpha-1, 4-glucan: alpha-1, 4-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase is deficient in the liver as

Mutations in the liver glycogen phosphorylase (Pygl) gene are associated with the diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type VI (GSD‐VI). To understand the pathogenesis of GSD‐VI, we generated a mouse model with Pygl deficiency (Pygl−/−).

Sleep and Wake Affect Glycogen Content and Turnover at Perisynaptic Astrocytic Processes
Astrocytic glycogen represents the only form of glucose storage in the brain, and one of the outcomes of its breakdown is the production of lactate that can be used by neurons as an alternative energetic substrate.

Contrast of nuclei in stratified squamous epithelium in optical coherence tomography images at 800 nm [PDF]
Imaging nuclei of keratinocytes in the stratified squamous epithelium has been a subject of intense research since nucleus associated cellular atypia is the key criteria for the screening and diagnosis of epithelial cancers and their precursors. However, keratinocyte nuclei have been reported to be either low scattering or high scattering, so that ...
