Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1179-1191, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

A mouse model for Niemann-Pick disease: phospholipid class and fatty acid composition of various tissues.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1984
Recently, a strain of mice bearing an autosomal recessive gene, spm, has been described. On the basis of clinical and pathological findings these mice have been suggested as a useful model of human Niemann-Pick disease. Phospholipids and their fatty acid

Modeling Niemann-Pick disease type C1 in zebrafish: a robust platform for in vivo screening of candidate therapeutic compounds

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2018
Niemann-Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease primarily caused by mutations in NPC1. NPC1 is characterized by abnormal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and glycolipids in late endosomes and lysosomes.

A Cross‐Disease Microglial Transcriptional Program Characterizes Neurodegeneration and Highlights SPP1 as a Biomarker

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 6, June 2026.
Distinct microglial subpopulations are depicted, highlighting variations in gene expression and functional roles in response to specific disease conditions and the complexity of microglial activation and differentiation in neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Microglial cells are key players in maintaining brain homeostasis and responding to pathological ...

Changes to cholesterol trafficking in macrophages by Leishmania parasites infection [PDF]

, 2017
Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites that are transmitted by sandfly vectors during blood sucking to vertebrate hosts and cause a spectrum of diseases called leishmaniases.

Mechanistic convergence and shared therapeutic targets in Niemann‐Pick disease

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2019
Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) and Tangier disease are genetically and clinically distinct rare inborn errors of metabolism. NPC is caused by defects in either NPC1 or NPC2; whereas Tangier disease is caused by a defect in ABCA1.

The Recycling Endosomal (Na+, K+)/H+ Exchanger NHE6/SLC9A6 Facilitates Signal Transduction by Shuttling Cyclin‐Dependent Kinase 5 to the Plasma Membrane

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The alkali cation/proton exchanger NHE6/SLC9A6 regulates luminal pH homeostasis and trafficking of recycling endosomes in most tissues, especially neurons. Loss‐of‐function mutations in NHE6 cause Christianson Syndrome, an X‐linked neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder; however, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms ...
