Cathepsins in the Pathophysiology of Mucopolysaccharidoses: New Perspectives for Therapy
Cathepsins (CTSs) are ubiquitously expressed proteases normally found in the endolysosomal compartment where they mediate protein degradation and turnover.

Background Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) is a group of hereditary multisystemic lysosomal disorders. Most neuroimaging studies in MPS have focused on the supratentorial compartment and craniocervical junction abnormalities, and data regarding posterior ...

Lysosomal storage diseases as a complex pathophysiological and clinical problem - part one
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of rare genetic diseases that are characterized by the accumulation of undecomposed molecules in lysosomes due to deficits in specific enzymes.

Impaired glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) catabolism may lead to a cluster of rare metabolic and genetic disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs). Each subtype is caused by the deficiency of one of the lysosomal hydrolases normally degrading GAGs. Affected

Diagnosing mucopolysaccharidosis IVA [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio A syndrome) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) activity. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires agreement of

Early Recognition of Infantile Systemic Hyalinosis in a Palestinian Infant: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Infantile systemic hyalinosis should be suspected in infants with contractures, skin changes, and diarrhea in consanguineous families. Early recognition allows timely genetic testing, supportive care, and counseling, improving family outcomes despite poor prognosis.

Update on the fluorometric measurement of enzymatic activities for Lysosomal Storage Disorder detection: The example of MPS VI [PDF]
Lysosomal Storage Disorders (LSD) are rare diseases that as a whole havea combined incidence ranging from 1:1500 to 1:7000 live births. One of suchdiseases is Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), or Maroteaux Lamy Syndrome.MPS VI patients undergo ...

Bedside intubation of a child with a difficult airway—The otolaryngologist perspective
Abstract Objectives Children with a difficult airway are prone to severe complications in unplanned intubation events. The otolaryngologist is often required to secure the airway using advanced techniques once the traditional methods have failed to establish safe tracheal intubation.

Les Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) sont des maladies héréditaires dues à un défaut enzymatique { l’origine de dépôts de glycosaminoglycanes (mucopolysaccharides) au niveau des lysosomes. Ces dépôts vont se retrouver au niveau de tous les organes de façon plus ou moins importante avec des manifestations plus ou moins précoces et plus ou moins parlantes ...
