ABSTRACT Background Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism with heterogeneous hepatic and neurological manifestations. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) involvement in WD is poorly recognized and remains inadequately studied, despite its potential to cause significant morbidity if unrecognized.

Ayurvedic approach for management of Wilson's disease: A case report
Wilson's disease betides due to mutation in ATP-7B that leads to snagging in copper transport by the hepatic lysosomes resulted in the deposition of copper in the brain, liver, kidney or skeletal system. The symptoms are jaundice, edema in legs, ascites,

Advances in Treatment of Wilson Disease
Background: Wilson disease (WD) is an inherited neurometabolic disorder that results in excessive copper deposition in the liver and the brain, affecting children and young adults. Without treatment the disease is invariably fatal.

A mitochondria‐targeted copper depletion nanoplatform (CYN‐CDA@Alb) was developed to selectively disrupt tumor mitochondria copper, which then reprogrammed the tumor immune microenvironment by depressing PD‐L1 and CD47 expression simultaneously. By doing this, CYN‐CDA@Alb reversed radiotherapy‐induced immune tolerance, showing the potential usage of ...

Exploring and Targeting the Connection of Iron and Copper Homeostasis to Neurodegenerative Diseases
Iron and copper dyshomeostasis, along with their interactions with key intrinsically disordered proteins (e.g., Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein) have a strong implication in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Prion diseases (PrDs), Huntington's disease (HD), Wilson's disease (WD),

The Challenge of Adherence in Wilson Disease: An Opportunity for Nurse‐Led Interventions
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Life‐long treatment is critical in Wilson disease (WD), a rare genetic disease leading to copper accumulation with hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. Poor adherence is a well‐known contributor to unfavourable clinical outcomes.

Hepatic Lenticular Degeneration With Renal Tumors: A Case Series
ABSTRACT This article presents a series of cases involving hepatic lenticular degeneration (Wilson's disease) complicated by renal tumors. It details the clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, treatment strategies, pathological features and outcomes of these patients. We found that this type of patient has an early‐onset disease, complex tumor

Uptake Mechanism of Trientine by Rat Intestinal Brush-border Membrane Vesicles
The uptake characteristics of trientine by rat intestinal brush-border membrane vesicles were studied. The uptake characteristics of trientine were similar to those of the physiological polyamines with respect to the excessive accumulation
