Accumulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein and histone H4 in brain storage bodies of Tibetan terriers with hereditary neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis [PDF]
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by massive accumulation of autofluorescent storage bodies in neurons and other cells. A late-onset form of NCL occurs in Tibetan terrier dogs.

Accurate identification of the genetic determinants of rare diseases is essential for effective recurrence‐risk management and informed reproductive decision‐making. Although whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly improved diagnostic capabilities, a subset of affected families still receives no definitive ...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Tauopathies involve progressive accumulation of abnormal tau species that disrupt the autophagy‐lysosomal pathway (ALP), critical for degrading intracellular macromolecules and aggregates, leading to toxicity and cell death. This study examines how overexpression of the N‐terminally truncated Tau35 protein affects proteolytic ...

A clinical case of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL, Batten disease) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by age-related onset, progressive myoclonus epilepsy, visual impairment and progressive intellectual and motor disorders.

Expression profile of a Caenorhabditis elegans model of adult neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis reveals down regulation of ubiquitin E3 ligase components. [PDF]
Cysteine string protein (CSP) is a chaperone of the Dnaj/Hsp40 family of proteins and is essential for synaptic maintenance. Mutations in the human gene encoding CSP, DNAJC5, cause adult neuronal ceroid lipofucinosis (ANCL) which is characterised by ...

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.

Neuronal Ceroid-lipofuscinosis in a Cat [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis was diagnosed in a young adult domestic short-haired cat euthanatized because of severe progressive neurologic disease. Clinical signs included blindness, seizures, and decreased mentation. An autofluorescent pigment, identified as ceroid-lipofuscin by electron microscopy and staining properties, was found within neurons

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
