Mechanisms of Neuronal Damage in Acute Hepatic Porphyrias [PDF]
Porphyrias are a group of congenital and acquired diseases caused by an enzymatic impairment in the biosynthesis of heme. Depending on the specific enzyme involved, different types of porphyrias (i.e., chronic vs. acute, cutaneous vs.

Delivering the Message: Translating mRNA Therapy for Liver Inherited Metabolic Diseases
ABSTRACT mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) provides a dual revolution in the field of gene therapy. mRNA brings fleeting efficacy and the possibility to adjust the therapy to clinical needs. LNP, as a non‐viral vehicle with flexible organ‐targeting, overcomes most immune complications of viral gene therapy. mRNA‐LNP has rapidly progressed

Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 in an infant with multiple congenital defects
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 or hepatorenal tyrosinemia is a severe orphan autosomal-recessive disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by a deficiency of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH).

Overview of European Practices for Management of Tyrosinemia Type 1: Towards European Guidelines
ABSTRACT The introduction of nitisinone (NTBC) and newborn screening for Tyrosinemia type 1 (TT1) enabled preemptive treatment of patients, thereby significantly improving outcomes by preventing liver, kidney, and neurological issues. Treatment goals have shifted from emergency treatment to long‐term care.

Emergency Management of Intoxication‐Type Inherited Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT In many intoxication‐type inherited metabolic disorders, the accumulation of the toxic chemical can cause acute life‐threatening emergencies. Sometimes this is the inevitable consequence of a severe metabolic defect, but it is often triggered by catabolism.

Iron distribution in Belgrade rat reticulocytes after inhibition of heme synthesis with succinylacetone [PDF]
We have used succinylacetone (4,6-dioxoheptanoic acid), a specific inhibitor of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydrase, to gain insight into the defect in iron metabolism in the Belgrade anemia. The Belgrade rat has an inherited microcytic, hypochromic anemia associated with poor iron uptake into developing erythroid cells.

Deciphering the Molecular Pathways: How Polygonatum sibiricum Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia
Herbal medicine, like Polygonatum sibiricum, is gaining attention for its potential in treating myocardial ischemia. Comprehensive research on its molecular interplay is essential for its development as a therapeutic agent. The aim is to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which Polygonatum sibiricum ameliorates myocardial ischemia.
