Markers of cognitive function in individuals with metabolic disease: Morquio Syndrome and Tyrosinemia Type III [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We characterized cognitive function in two metabolic diseases. MPS–IVa (mucopolysaccharidosis IVa, Morquio) and tyrosinemia type III individuals were assessed using tasks of attention, language and oculomotor function.

Tailoring a Functional Synthetic Microbial Community Alleviates Fusobacterium nucleatum‐infected Colorectal Cancer via Ecological Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 31, August 21, 2025.
The bottom‐up strategy based on multiomics data is used for the SynCom design, and it successfully inhibited F. nucleatum growth and achieved stable colonization in vivo. In addition, it promoted tryptophan metabolism and secondary bile acid conversion, reduced lipid accumulation, relieved microbiome disorder, decreased inflammatory reaction, and ...

Making rareness count: testing and pricing orphan drugs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper examines the testing and the pricing of orphan drugs, e.g. drugs for patients suffering from rare diseases. Due to the small size of these populations, orphan molecules question established evidentiary practices, namely randomized controlled ...

An anatomical investigation of alkaptonuria: Novel insights into ochronosis of cartilage and bone

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 1053-1074, June 2025.
Examination of an alkaptonuria body highlights the susceptibility of all cartilage types and associated perichondrium to ochronotic pigmentation and the heterogeneity of ochronotic pigment distribution both within and between tissues. In joints, calcified cartilage pigments before non‐calcified cartilage.

Molecular docking analysis of nitisinone with homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase [PDF]

open access: yesBioinformation, 2017
Alkaptonuria is an inherited disease that is caused by homogenticate accumulation. Deficiency or mutation in Homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase gene (chromosome 3q21-q23) leads to production of incorrectly folded or truncated enzyme. Several studies indicated that competitive inhibitors of Homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase like Nitisinone could be used for ...

Osteoarticular cells tolerate short-term exposure to nitisinone—implications in alkaptonuria [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Rheumatology, 2015
Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a rare genetic disease resulting in severe, rapidly progressing, early onset multi-joint osteoarthropathy. A potential therapy, nitisinone, is being trialled that reduces the causative agent; homogentisic acid (HGA) and in a murine model has shown to prevent ochronosis.

Diagnosis of Inherited Metabolic Disease in Older Patients: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) are genetic disorders that disrupt biochemical processes in the human body, due to pathogenic variants in genes encoding enzymes or transporters. While IMDs are mostly diagnosed in infancy or childhood, there is an increasing number of diagnoses in adult patients.

Plant secondary metabolites as a model for drug development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Biljni sekundarni metaboliti su spojevi koji nisu nužni za rast i razvoj biljaka, ali im omogućavaju prilagodbu i preživljavanje u okolišu. Strukturna kompleksnost i raznolikost sekundarnih metabolita osigurala im je važnu ulogu u farmaceutskoj ...
