A Novel PCK1 Gene Variant Associated With Cytosolic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Two Siblings With Different Clinical Presentations

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive gluconeogenesis disorder caused by variants in the PCK1 gene. Clinically, PEPCK‐C deficiency is characterized by recurrent episodes of fasting‐induced hypoglycemia, liver dysfunction, and seizures, with the first hypoglycemic episode typically ...

Sliding Wear Performance of Natural Fiber–Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
While synthetic fiber composites offer some positive environmental attributes, researchers are trying to explore natural fiber composites (NFCs) due to the high cost and pollution associated with their production. As a result, it is essential to look at the tribological properties that natural composite materials exhibit.
