Sphingomyelinase in normal human spleens and in spleens from subjects with Niemann-Pick disease
This paper describes the purification and some of the properties of an enzyme from human spleen that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin with the formation of ceramide and phosphoryl choline.

Clinical and genetic analysis of Niemann-Pick disease type C with a novel NPC1 variant
Background Niemann-Pick disease type C poses a significant challenge within the landscape of rare genetic disorders, marked by its connection to variants in the NPC1 or NPC2 genes. This autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder unfolds with a relentless

Lysosomal and Mitochondrial Liaisons in Niemann-Pick Disease
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSD) are characterized by the accumulation of diverse lipid species in lysosomes. Niemann-Pick type A/B (NPA/B) and type C diseases Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) are progressive LSD caused by loss of function of distinct ...

ABSTRACT In the Canadian Maritimes, the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) industry has been shaped by population‐scale events, including ~90% reductions of natural beds from Malpeque disease. For many years, Maritime oyster populations were considered genetically homogenous due to large‐scale transplants to rehabilitate depleted beds; however ...

Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Cyclodextrin triggers MCOLN1-dependent endo-lysosome secretion in Niemann-Pick type C cells[S]
In specialized cell types, lysosome-related organelles support regulated secretory pathways, whereas in nonspecialized cells, lysosomes can undergo fusion with the plasma membrane in response to a transient rise in cytosolic calcium. Recent evidence also

Improved sensitivity of an acid sphingomyelinase activity assay using a C6:0 sphingomyelin substrate
Short-chain C6-sphingomyelin is an artificial substrate that was used in an acid sphingomyelinase activity assay for a pilot screening study of patients with Niemann–Pick disease types A and B.
