HEPES in Cell Culture Alters the Multi‐Omics Profile Exhibited by Gaucher Disease Fibroblasts
ABSTRACT Lysosomal function can be affected by components in cell culture. This in turn may influence cellular metabolism and, consequently, research and diagnostics outcomes. One such component is the commonly used pH buffer 4‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES).

Lentiviral Vector-Mediated Correction of a Mouse Model of Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type I [PDF]
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD-I) is a primary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the ITGB2 gene and is characterized by recurrent and life-threatening bacterial infections.

Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

Adult-Onset Metachromatic Leukodystrophy: Two Cases
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy(MLD) is a lisosomal storage disorder which is characterized with arylsulphatase A deficiency. Enzyme deficiency results with demiyelination and storage of sulphatides in central nervous system.According to onset age;the ...

Dual-regulated lentiviral vector for gene therapy of X-linked chronic granulomatosis [PDF]
Regulated transgene expression may improve the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy. Clinical trials for X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) employing gammaretroviral vectors were limited by insertional oncogenesis

Prosaposin Is Cleaved Into Saposins by Multiple Cathepsins in a Progranulin‐Regulated Fashion
Prosaposin (PSAP) is a lysosomal protein cleaved into four bioactive saposins (SapA‐D) that regulate sphingolipid breakdown. Here, we identify nine cathepsins, including seven newly implicated enzymes, that process PSAP in a pH‐dependent manner to generate distinct cleavage products.

TFEB regulates lysosomal proteostasis [PDF]
Loss-of-function diseases are often caused by destabilizing mutations that lead to protein misfolding and degradation. Modulating the innate protein homeostasis (proteostasis) capacity may lead to rescue of native folding of the mutated variants, thereby

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...
