Urine-Derived Kidney Progenitor Cells in Cystinosis
Nephropathic cystinosis is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the cystinosin (CTNS) gene and is characterized by the excessive shedding of proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) and podocytes into urine ...

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.

Substrate selectivity and inhibition of the human lysyl hydroxylase JMJD7
Abstract Jumonji‐C (JmjC) domain‐containing protein 7 (JMJD7) is a human Fe(II) and 2‐oxoglutarate dependent oxygenase that catalyzes stereospecific C3‐hydroxylation of lysyl‐residues in developmentally regulated GTP binding proteins 1 and 2 (DRG1/2). We report studies exploring a diverse set of lysine derivatives incorporated into the DRG1 peptides as
