Interaction between galectin-3 and cystinosin uncovers a pathogenic role of inflammation in kidney involvement of cystinosis. [PDF]
Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of many disorders. However, the underlying mechanisms are often unknown. Here, we test whether cystinosin, the protein involved in cystinosis, is a critical regulator of galectin-3, a member of the β ...

Improving Patient Understanding of Glomerular Disease Terms With ChatGPT
Background: Glomerular disease is complex and difficult for patients to understand, as it involves various pathophysiology, immunology, and pharmacology areas. Objective: This study explored whether ChatGPT can maintain accuracy while simplifying glomerular disease terms to enhance patient comprehension.

CTNS mutations in publicly-available human cystinosis cell lines
Patient samples play an important role in the study of inherited metabolic disorders. Open-access biorepositories distribute such samples. Unfortunately, not all clinically-characterized samples come with reliable genotype information.

Abnormal mitochondrial autophagy in nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
Cystinosis, which is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of cystine in many tissues, was the first known storage disorder caused by defective metabolite export from the lysosome. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying nephropathic cystinosis, the most severe form, which exhibits generalized proximal tubular dysfunction and progressive ...

Dedifferentiation and aberrations of the endolysosomal compartment characterize the early stage of nephropathic cystinosis [PDF]
Nephropathic cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene encoding the lysosomal cystine transporter cystinosin, is characterized by generalized proximal tubule (PT) dysfunction that progresses, if untreated, to end-stage ...

Glutathione depletion and increased apoptosis rate in human cystinotic proximal tubular cells [PDF]
We have determined levels of glutathione (GSH), ATP, mitochondrial complex activity and apoptosis rate in proximal tubular cells (PTCs) exfoliated from urine in cystinotic (n=9) and control (n=9) children.
