Cholesterol pathways affected by small molecules that decrease sterol levels in Niemann-Pick type C mutant cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a genetically inherited multi-lipid storage disorder with impaired efflux of cholesterol from lysosomal storage organelles.The effect of screen-selected cholesterol lowering compounds on the major sterol pathways was ...

Development of a fluorometric microtiter plate based enzyme assay for MPS IVA (Morquio type A) using dried blood spots

open access: yesMolecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports, 2014
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA or Morquio type-A disease is a hereditary lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS). The disease is caused by lysosomal accumulation of

Treatment of lysosomal storage disorders

open access: yesBMJ, 2003
Increased awareness and diagnosis are important as treatment is now feasible The lysosomal storage disorders have hitherto justifiably been consigned to the small print sections of textbooks of biochemistry and internal medicine and optional modules of the undergraduate medical curriculum.

Loss of Niemann-Pick C1 or C2 protein results in similar biochemical changes suggesting that these proteins function in a common lysosomal pathway. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and other lipids in the endolysosomal system.

Gaucher disease: achievements and prospects

open access: yesТерапевтический архив, 2021
Gaucher disease (GD) is the most common lysosomal storage disorder, resulting from a deficiency in the activity of a lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase, which is involved in the catabolism of sphingolipids.

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Differentiation of norm and pathology during selective biochemical skreening of lysosomal storage diseases with increased excretion of oligosaccharides [PDF]

open access: yesThe Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2015
Oligosaccharides are a class of polymeric carbohydrates, which are constituents of a glycoside portion of glycoprotein and glycolipid molecules. The lysosomal hydrolase dysfunction due to lysosomal storage disorders results in partial or complete failure
