Red cell adenylate kinase deficiency in China: molecular study of 2 new mutations (413G > A, 223dupA)

open access: yesBMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Adenylate kinase (AK) is a monomolecular enzyme widely found in a variety of organisms. It mainly catalyses the reversible transfer of adenosine nucleotide phosphate groups and plays an important role in maintaining energy metabolism.

Extracellular and Membrane Protein: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and an Emerging Modality for Drug Discovery

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Targeted protein degradation represents a paradigm shift from traditional protein inhibition to complete protein elimination. This is achieved through three main strategies for degrading extracellular and membrane proteins: recruitment of cell‐surface LTRs, engagement of intracellular proteins, and receptor‐independent mechanisms.

Therapeutic Effects of Nizubaglustat in a Mouse Model of GM2 Gangliosidosis

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Nizubaglustat is a novel selective inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) and the non‐lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (NLGase, GbA2) with brain penetrant properties. It is currently in clinical development as an oral treatment for rare lysosomal storage diseases with neurological involvement. One such disease group called GM2 gangliosidosis,

Autoimmunity to Collagen XVII (BP180‐Ag2) in Pemphigoid Associated With Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesCase Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The association between Parkinson’s disease and autoimmune disease is rare; in our population, there is 1 case per 10,000 inhabitants. Bullous pemphigoid has a much lower incidence, and consequently, the association of Parkinson’s disease and bullous pemphigoid is rarer.

Molecular characterisation of equid alphaherpesvirus 1 strains isolated from aborted fetuses in Poland

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2018
Background Equid alphaherpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) is one of the main infectious causative agents of abortion in mares and can also be associated with stillbirth, neonatal foal death, rhinopneumonitis in young horses and a neurological disorder called equine ...

Nitric oxide debilitates the neuropathogenic schistosome Trichobilharzia regenti in mice, partly by inhibiting its vital peptidases

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Avian schistosomes, the causative agents of human cercarial dermatitis (or swimmer’s itch), die in mammals but the mechanisms responsible for parasite elimination are unknown.

Redox‐Dependent Activation of Matrix Metalloproteinases Regulates Influenza A Virus Replication in Neuronal Cells

open access: yesInternational Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major respiratory pathogen with the potential to invade the central nervous system (CNS), leading to neurological complications. However, the mechanisms underlying IAV neurotropism and its impact on neuronal cells remain poorly understood.

New insights on the neuropathogenicity of West Nile virus [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2004
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne disease that emerged in North America where it caused in 2002 the largest arboviral meningoencephalitis outbreak ever recorded in this area. The viral variant responsible of this outbreak has been found to share 99.7% identity over the entire genome with the viral variant that caused the epizootic in Israel in ...

Neurotropism In Vitro and Mouse Models of Severe and Mild Infection with Clinical Strains of Enterovirus 71

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a common etiological agent of hand, foot, and mouth disease and fatal neurological diseases in children. The neuropathogenicity of severe EV71 infection has been documented, but studies comparing mouse models of severe and mild ...

Perfusable Brain Microvascular Network‐On‐Chip Model to Study Flavivirus NS1‐Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 50, December 9, 2025.
This study presents a microfluidic brain microvascular network‐on‐chip (BMVasChip) to investigate endothelial barrier dysfunction caused by flavivirus non‐structural protein 1 (NS1), including virus‐ and time‐dependent vascular damage, leakiness, and dysfunction.
