A new case of sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter defect occurring as a life‐threatening condition responsive to early vitamin supplementation and literature review [PDF]
Background Biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC5A6 resulting in sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) defect have recently been described as a vitamin‐responsive inborn error of metabolism mimicking biotinidase deficiency.

Non-revascularized chronic total occlusions impact on substrate and post-ablation results in drug-refractory electrical storm [PDF]
Background and aimsThere is limited data concerning the effect of non-revascularized chronic total occlusions (NR-CTOs) after VT ablation. This study sought to evaluate the impact of NR-CTOs after ablation for electrical storm (ES).MethodsPost-hoc ...

The Importance of Biotinylation for the Suitability of Cationic and Neutral Fourth-Generation Polyamidoamine Dendrimers as Targeted Drug Carriers in the Therapy of Glioma and Liver Cancer [PDF]
In this study, we hypothesized that biotinylated and/or glycidol-flanked fourth-generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM G4) dendrimers could be a tool for efficient drug transport into glioma and liver cancer cells.

Impaired coenzyme A homeostasis in cardiac dysfunction and benefits of boosting coenzyme A production with vitamin B5 and its derivatives in the management of heart failure [PDF]
Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential cofactor required for over a hundred metabolic reactions in the human body. This cofactor is synthesized de novo in our cells from vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid, a water-soluble vitamin abundantly present in ...
