The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited, severe neurodegenerative disorders also known as Batten disease. Juvenile NCL (JNCL) is caused by recessive loss-of-function mutations in CLN3, which encodes a transmembrane protein that ...

Lamotrigine Therapy in Neuronal Lipofuscinosis
Lamotrigine (LTG) long-term anticonvulsant therapy was evaluated in 29 patients, aged 6-28 years (mean, 14 years), with juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL), followed for 1-6 years (mean, 3 years) at the Hospital for Children and Adolescents ...

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis—Concepts, Classification, and Avenues for Therapy
This review comprehensively examined the pathogenic genes associated with various NCL subtypes, elucidating their roles, clinical presentations, corresponding mouse models, and the advances in clinical study of potential therapeutics. In particular, we clarified the potential of novel microglial cell replacement therapies in NCLs, providing hope for ...

Juvenile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is a fatal lysosomal storage disease caused by autosomal recessive mutations in CLN3. JNCL is typified by progressive neurodegeneration that has been suggested to occur from excessive excitatory and impaired

FRET-assisted determination of CLN3 membrane topology. [PDF]
Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (JNCL) is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene, which encodes for a putative lysosomal transmembrane protein with thus far undescribed structure and function. Here we investigate the membrane topology of human CLN3

PIEZO1 is essential for the survival and proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells
Abstract Introduction Leukemogenesis is a complex process that interconnects tumoral cells with their microenvironment, but the effect of mechanosensing in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts is poorly known. PIEZO1 perceives and transmits the constraints of the environment to human cells by acting as a non‐selective calcium channel, but very little is

Juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (jNCL) is a rare but fatal inherited lysosomal storage disorder mainly affecting children. The disease is caused by mutations in the CLN3 gene that lead to the accumulation of storage material in many tissues ...
