ABSTRACT The correct diagnosis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4, sapropterin dihydrochloride)‐responsive phenylketonuria (PKU) and treatment with BH4 are important for prognosis and quality of life. We examined whether age affects biopterin bioavailability following oral BH4 administration in PKU and whether this influences BH4 responsiveness.

Increasing Tetrahydrobiopterin in Cardiomyocytes Adversely Affects Cardiac Redox State and Mitochondrial Function Independently of Changes in NO Production [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) represents a potential strategy for the treatment of cardiac remodeling, fibrosis and/or diastolic dysfunction. The effects of oral treatment with BH4 (Sapropterin™ or Kuvan™) are however dose-limiting with high dose negating ...

Radical-mediated ring contraction in the biosynthesis of 7-deazapurines [PDF]
Pyrrolopyrimidine containing natural products are widely distributed in Nature. The biosynthesis of the 7-deazapurine moiety that is common to all pyrrolopyrimidines entails multiple steps, one of which is a complex radical-mediated ring contraction ...

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications
Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

Hippo Pathway Drives Durable Non‐Cell‐Autonomous Ferroptosis Resistance in Lung Cancer
YAP/TAZ, key effectors in lung cancer progression, paradoxically sensitize tumor cells to ferroptosis. This study reveals that YAP/TAZ‐low cells confer non‐cell‐autonomous, GCH1‐mediated durable ferroptosis resistance to neighboring YAP/TAZ‐high cells via a soluble factor, highlighting a Hippo pathway‐linked mechanism of tumor adaptation and survival ...

The International Working Group on Neurotransmitter related Disorders (iNTD): A worldwide research project focused on primary and secondary neurotransmitter disorders [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that enable communication between the neurons in the synaptic cleft. Inborn errors of neurotransmitter biosynthesis, breakdown and transport are a group of very rare neurometabolic diseases ...

Flavin Biosynthesis Enhances Extracellular Electron Transfer in Bioengineered Escherichia coli
Microbial electronics are promising for energy, sensing, environmental, and synthesis applications. E. coli are engineered with extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways from a microbe that naturally produces current to enable bioelectronics based on E. coli.
