The diagnostic journey for patients with late-onset GM2 Gangliosidoses
Late-onset forms of GM2 gangliosidosis―mainly, Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease―are under-recognized in clinical practice. In these rare lysosomal storage disorders, deficiency of β-hexosaminidase A results in excessive accumulation of GM2 ...

Niemann-Pick Type C Disease Reveals a Link between Lysosomal Cholesterol and PtdIns(4,5)P2 That Regulates Neuronal Excitability. [PDF]
There is increasing evidence that the lysosome is involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. Thus, mechanisms that link lysosome dysfunction to the disruption of neuronal homeostasis offer opportunities to understand the ...

A Case Refort of Sandhoff Disease
Sandhoff disease is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease presenting bilateral optic atrophy and a cherry red spot in the macula. This case report presents the characteristics of a patient with Sandhoff disease as assessed by ophthalmic, neuroimaging, and laboratory procedures.

In superficial second‐degree burn wounds, Gb3 turns on genes related to papillary cells through the FGF2 signaling pathway. This increases the ability of cells to break down fibrin and decreases fibrosis, which ultimately prevents scar formation in burn injuries.

Apoptotic signaling through CD95 (Fas/Apo-1) activates an acidic sphingomyelinase. [PDF]
Intracellular pathways leading from membrane receptor engagement to apoptotic cell death are still poorly characterized. We investigated the intracellular signaling generated after cross-linking of CD95 (Fas/Apo-1 antigen), a broadly expressed cell ...

Delivering Progranulin to Astrocytic Lysosomes Promotes Growth of Co‐Cultured Neurons
Loss‐of‐function progranulin (GRN) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia. Most of these mutations cause haploinsufficiency of progranulin, a secreted pro‐protein that has neurotrophic and anti‐inflammatory effects. Progranulin is constitutively secreted before trafficking to lysosomes and it is unclear if its effects are mediated by extracellular ...

β-hexosaminidases (Hex) are dimeric enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of glycolipids and glycans. They are formed by α- and/or β-subunits encoded byHEXA and HEXB genes, respectively.

A human neuronal model of Niemann Pick C disease developed from stem cells isolated from patient's skin. [PDF]
Niemann Pick C (NPC) disease is a neurovisceral lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in NPC1 or NPC2 genes, characterized by the accumulation of endocytosed unesterified cholesterol, gangliosides and other lipids within the lysosomes/late ...
