Therapeutic potential of stem cells in pediatric neurology: Insights from clinical trials
Key characteristics of stem cells. Stem cells are essential in therapy due to their ability to self‐renew, ensuring a continuous supply of cells. They can derive from various sources, primarily embryonic tissue, and adult organs such as bone marrow and adipose tissue.

Orphan drugs and the NHS: Should we value rarity [PDF]
Cost effectiveness plays an important part in current decisions about the funding of health technologies. Drugs for rare disease (orphan drugs) are often expensive to produce and, by definition, will benefit only small numbers of patients.

ABSTRACT N‐Glycosylation critically influences the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic properties of biopharmaceuticals. Plant expression platforms offer multiple advantages for the production of N‐glycosylated proteins, but their use is impeded by the presence of plant‐specific N‐glycan epitopes, which raise concerns of possible immunogenicity to ...

Utility and Safety of Romiplostim in Pediatric Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
ABSTRACT Background The use of romiplostim, a thrombopoietin agonist, has increased in the last decade for the treatment of immune mediated thrombocytopenia and severe aplastic anemia. Its utility has been explored in the management of delayed platelet engraftment and secondary platelet failure during stem cell transplant (SCT), but its use has ...

Long-term cognitive follow-up in children treated for Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome [PDF]
Background: It remains unclear to what extent the brain is affected by Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI), a progressive lysosomal storage disorder. While enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) elicits positive effects, the drug cannot cross the blood–brain ...

Biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II and IV
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS), are the primary biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS); however, little is known about other biomarkers. To explore potential biomarkers and their correlation with GAGs, blood samples were collected from 46 MPS II patients, 34 MPS IVA ...

Trial Readiness: Understanding the Natural History of Rare Diseases
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) represent the largest and still growing group of treatable genetic disorders and are increasingly amenable to targeted interventions that achieve varying degrees of prognostic improvement. Innovative therapies are on the horizon and offer promising opportunities for disease‐changing treatment for a variety of
