Mucopolysaccharidosis type II: Enzyme Replacement Therapy Efficiency
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is the hereditary lysosomal storage disease caused by pathological variants in IDS gene. Such variants lead to iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme deficiency and glycosaminoglycan catabolism disorder.

Unraveling Lysosomal Exocytosis: From Molecular Mechanisms to Physiological Functions
Lysosomal exocytosis is propelled by specific molecular mechanisms that direct its microtubule‐dependent transport and subsequent fusion with the plasma membrane. This process fulfills essential physiological functions such as plasma membrane repair, maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and participation in signal transduction.

From Molecule to Meaning: Neuronopathic Biomarkers and Clinical Relevance in GM1
ABSTRACT GM1 gangliosidosis is a rare, progressively neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder characterized by profound central nervous system involvement and substantial clinical heterogeneity. The development of reliable biomarkers is essential for tracking disease progression, stratifying patients, and advancing clinical trial readiness. Primary
