The transcobalamin receptor, redux
Cobalamin (Cbl; B12) is an essential micronutrient required by all cells in the body. For several decades, we have been aware that Cbl-binding proteins escort B12 to sites of absorption and cellular uptake. Thus, intrinsic factor (IF), with its high-binding specificity for Cbl, mediates the absorption of B12 in the gut. The distribution and delivery of

Management of Gaucher Disease Type 1 in a Resource‐Limited Setting: A Pediatric Case Study
ABSTRACT This case report depicts the management of an 8‐year‐old male with Gaucher Disease Type 1, manifesting as massive splenomegaly, anemia, and skeletal involvement in a resource‐constrained environment. Treated with splenectomy due to the absence of enzyme replacement therapy, it underscores the necessity for enhanced therapeutic access and ...

ABSTRACT Cobalamin (vitamin B12) is an essential cofactor for two human enzymes, methionine synthase and methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase. Inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism (IECMs) are inherited genetic defects resulting in improper transport, modification, or utilization of cobalamin and include inherited methylmalonic acidurias, a group of IECMs most ...

At low levels of B12, specifically when bound to transcobalamin for cellular uptake, evidence of slower conductivity in the brain could point toward impaired myelin. At high levels of B12, specifically when bound to the biologically inert transport protein haptocorrin, biomarkers of neurodegeneration appear in the serum, indicating neuroaxonal injury ...

Our study found that epigenetic changes, particularly histone modifications regulating FGF1, contribute to osimertinib resistance. Targeting these modifications with BET inhibitors may offer new therapeutic strategies. ABSTRACT Osimertinib, a third‐generation EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the first‐line therapy for lung cancer harboring EGFR ...

Vitamin B12: prevention of human beings from lethal diseases and its food application
Abstract Vitamin B12, a water‐soluble essential micronutrient, plays a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes in the human body. This review meticulously examines the structural complexity and the diverse mechanisms through which vitamin B12 exerts its preventive effects against a spectrum of health conditions, including pernicious anaemia ...

Multi‐omics analysis was applied in Hong Kong lactating mothers over the 12 months. The altered metabolic pathways included biotin/amino acid/fatty acid metabolism. The accumulation/remodeling of lipids were observed during 12‐month period. Different proteins were mainly related to ribosome and complement component. Abstract The nutritional contents of

ABSTRACT Vitamin B12 deficiency is usually simple to diagnose. However, our patient demonstrates that in difficult cases, the ordinary clinician may need a transdisciplinary approach. The finding of a double haploinsufficiency as a possible cause of vitamin B12 deficiency in our patient, illustrates the usefulness of performing large panel clinical ...
