A Fatal Case of Generalized Lysosomal Storage Disease in an Infant. [PDF]
Gangliosidoses are a heterogeneous group of lysosomal storage diseases with an autosomal recessive trait, which are characterized by the intracellular accumulation of gangliosides in several tissues, mainly in neurons.

A Case Report of Sandhoff Disease [PDF]
Sandhoff disease is a rare and severe lysosomal storage disorder representing 7% of GM2 gangliosidoses. Bilateral thalamic involvement has been suggested as a diagnostic marker of Sandhoff disease.

Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.

Aberrant Ganglioside Functions to Underpin Dysregulated Myelination, Insulin Signalling, and Cytokine Expression: Is There a Link and a Room for Therapy? [PDF]
Gangliosides are molecules widely present in the plasma membranes of mammalian cells, participating in a variety of processes, including protein organization, transmembrane signalling and cell adhesion. Gangliosides are abundant in the grey matter of the

Les sphingolipides : vecteurs d’agents pathogènes et cause de maladies génétiques [PDF]
Les sphingolipides (SPL) sont des molécules ubiquitaires indispensables au maintien et au développement des organismes vivants. Ils ne sont pas répartis uniformément le long de la membrane mais regroupés sous forme de microdomaines lipidiques appelés ...

Phenotypic characterisation of human iPSC neuronal models of GM2 gangliosidoses [PDF]
Gangliosides are crucial components on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane of many cells, especially neurons. Their functions are broad and varied but their high abundance in neurons leaves these cells especially vulnerable to the effects of their ...

Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

An Inducible Mouse Model of Late Onset Tay–Sachs Disease
Mouse models of the GM2 gangliosidoses, Tay–Sachs and Sandhoff disease, are null for the hexosaminidase α and β subunits respectively. The Sandhoff (Hexb−/−) mouse has severe neurological disease and mimics the human infantile onset variant. However, the
