A Rare Form of Microcephalic Primordial Dwarfism due to NSMCE2 Deficiency (Seckel Syndrome Type 10): A Report of Macular Involvement

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic variants in NSMCE2 (MMS21), which encodes the SUMO E3 ligase subunit of the SMC5/6 chromatin‐maintenance complex, have recently been implicated in microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD), corresponding to Seckel syndrome type 10 (OMIM #617246).

Harnessing ferroptosis from multilayer defense networks to nanoplatforms for specific cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Nanomaterials target metabolically‐regulated ferroptosis for cancer therapy. Iron‐based or alternative nanoplatforms integrate ferroptosis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. They enable stimulus‐responsive therapies (photothermal, photodynamic, sonodynamic) activated by near‐infrared, light, or ultrasound, achieving potent synergistic ...

Characterization of Lysosomal Hydrolases and Transporters and Their Age‐Dependent Variability: Relevance to Drug Metabolism and Transport of Small Molecule and Biologic Drugs

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Lysosomes play a key role in the accumulation, catabolism, and transport of endogenous and exogenous metabolites and proteins and are involved in drug metabolism and prodrug activation. However, the protein abundance and interindividual variability of lysosomal drug‐metabolizing enzymes and transporters (DMETs) remain underexplored.

Ketogenic diet for infantile epileptic spasms

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Approximately half of all cases of Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS) do not respond to vigabatrin and hormonal therapies. There is no clear consensus as to the second‐line therapy for IESS. Ketogenic diet (KD) has emerged as an effective treatment for certain drug‐resistant epilepsies and in many cases of IESS.

Renal Tubular Acidosis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2002
The term renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is applied to a group of transport defects in the reabsorption of bicarbonate (HCO3−), the excretion of hydrogen ion (H+), or both. This condition was first described in 1935 ([1][1]), confirmed as a renal tubular disorder in 1946 ([2][2]), and designated “
