Generation and characterization of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from patients affected with Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease

Stem Cell Research
Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases, are sphingolipidoses caused by rare genetic mutations in the HEXA and HEXB genes, that encode the alpha and beta subunits of lysosomal hexosaminidase, respectively.

Impaired β-glucocerebrosidase activity and processing in frontotemporal dementia due to progranulin mutations. [PDF]

, 2019
Loss-of-function mutations in progranulin (GRN) are a major autosomal dominant cause of frontotemporal dementia. Most pathogenic GRN mutations result in progranulin haploinsufficiency, which is thought to cause frontotemporal dementia in GRN mutation ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Intracerebroventricular administration of a modified hexosaminidase ameliorates late-stage neurodegeneration in a GM2 mouse model.

PLoS ONE
The GM2 gangliosidoses, Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease, are devastating neurodegenerative disorders caused by β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) deficiency.

Reactivation of mTOR signaling slows neurodegeneration in a lysosomal sphingolipid storage disease

Neurobiology of Disease
Sandhoff disease, a lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by pathogenic variants in the HEXB gene, resulting in the loss of β-hexosaminidase activity and accumulation of sphingolipids including GM2 ganglioside.

Construction of a hybrid β-hexosaminidase subunit capable of forming stable homodimers that hydrolyze GM2 ganglioside in vivo

Molecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2016
Tay-Sachs or Sandhoff disease result from mutations in either the evolutionarily related HEXA or HEXB genes encoding respectively, the α- or β-subunits of β-hexosaminidase A (HexA). Of the three Hex isozymes, only HexA can interact with its cofactor, the

Peptide‐Incorporated Biomaterials Promote Regeneration of Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
Peptide‐incorporated biomaterials provide precise, tunable biological cues that mimic functional protein domains to regulate behaviors of neurons, Schwann cells, immune cells, and endothelial cells, thereby enhancing axon elongation, Schwann cell support, inflammatory microenvironment modulation, and vascularization, offering a promising alternative to

Alkaline Phosphatase and Infantile GM1 Gangliosidosis: A Simple Biomarker for a Complex Disease?

JIMD Reports, Volume 67, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT GM1 gangliosidosis is a lysosomal storage disease (LSD) caused by β‐galactosidase deficiency, characterized by the accumulation of gangliosides in various tissues. Among different GM1 forms (infantile form, late‐infantile and juvenile form, and late‐onset form), the infantile form is the most severe: despite an early clinical onset with rapid ...
