Metabolism‐Regulating Nanomedicines for Cancer Therapy
This review highlights metabolism‐regulating nanomedicines designed to target glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide pathways in tumors. By incorporating metabolism‐regulating agents into versatile nanocarriers such as liposomes, micelles, dendrimers, and engineered bacteria, these platforms achieve targeted delivery, controlled release ...

A Case of GNE Myopathy Presenting a Rapid Deterioration during Pregnancy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: GNE myopathy is characterized by early-adult-onset distal myopathy sparing quadriceps caused by mutations in the GNE gene encoding UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase, an enzyme in the sialic-acid synthesis pathway.

Bialelic pathogenic (c.830g>a(p.r277q)) variant disrupting the GNE gene function and causes Nonaka myopathy phenotype [PDF]
Nonaka myopathy (MIM 605820) is caused by homozygous pathogenic variants in the GNE gene. It is a recessively inherited early adult-onset myopathy that usually preserves the quadriceps and presents with bilateral foot drop, usually caused by anterior ...

This study reports a rare case of bone marrow failure syndrome type 1 (BMFS1) caused by a novel de novo splicing mutation (c.1502+1G>A) in the SRP72 gene. The 6‐year‐old patient presented with aplastic anemia and pancytopenia. Genetic analysis identified the mutation, which was absent in both parents, confirming its de novo origin.

Mutations in the gene coding for the bi-functional UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE), the key enzyme of the sialic acid biosynthesis, are responsible for autosomal-recessive GNE myopathy (GNEM).

ABSTRACT Quantitative muscle imaging (qMRI) is an established method for detecting muscular changes, particularly in the diagnosis and follow‐up of conditions as muscular injuries and neuromuscular diseases. While global T2 reflects all tissue components and cannot reliably indicate disease activity in fat‐replaced muscles, water T2 times (wT2) can ...

Clinical Characteristics and Molecular Genetic Analysis of Korean Patients with GNE Myopathy [PDF]
PURPOSE: Glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase (GNE) myopathy is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by early adult-onset weakness of the distal muscles of the lower limbs.

This study assesses muscle MRI features for the differential diagnosis of patients with distal myopathies and distal hereditary motor neuropathies (dHMNs). A reticular pattern of fat infiltration, together with diffuse and marked involvement of intrinsic foot muscles, emerged as characteristic of dHMNs.

Substantial deficiency of free sialic acid in muscles of patients with GNE myopathy and in a mouse model. [PDF]
GNE myopathy (GNEM), also known as hereditary inclusion body myopathy (HIBM), is a late- onset, progressive myopathy caused by mutations in the GNE gene encoding the enzyme responsible for the first regulated step in the biosynthesis of sialic acid (SA).
