The Molecular Aspect of Nephrolithiasis Development

Cells, 2021
Urolithiasis is the third most common urological disease after urinary tract infections and prostate diseases, and it is characterised by an occurrence rate of about 15%, which continues to rise. The increase in the incidence of kidney stones observed in

Late‐onset argininosuccinic aciduria in a 72‐year‐old man presenting with fatal hyperammonemia

JIMD Reports, 2021
Argininosuccinate lyase deficiency (ASLD, MIM #207900) is an inherited urea cycle disorder. There are mainly two clinical forms, an acute neonatal form which manifests as life‐threatening hyperammonemia, and a late‐onset form characterised by polymorphic

Upcycling Keratin‐Based Textile Waste Into High‐Performance Hybrid Fibers Via Tuning the Interfacial Interactions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Keratin recovered from animal‐hair textile waste is fractionated and blended with cellulose to produce continuously spun hybrid fibers. Selecting the high‐molecular‐weight keratin fraction enables 30 wt.% keratin incorporation while maintaining high strength in dry and wet states.

Restoring Ureagenesis in Hepatocytes by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Genomic Addition to Arginase-deficient Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
Urea cycle disorders are incurable enzymopathies that affect nitrogen metabolism and typically lead to hyperammonemia. Arginase deficiency results from a mutation in Arg1, the enzyme regulating the final step of ureagenesis and typically results in ...

Clinical Consequences of Urea Cycle Enzyme Deficiencies and Potential Links to Arginine and Nitric Oxide Metabolism [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2004
Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are human conditions caused by the dysregulation of nitrogen transfer from ammonia nitrogen into urea. The biochemistry and the genetics of these disorders were well elucidated. Earlier diagnosis and improved treatments led to an emerging, longer-lived cohort of patients.

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...

Progress and challenges in development of new therapies for urea cycle disorders

, 2019
Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are inborn errors of metabolism caused by deficiency of enzymes required to transfer nitrogen from ammonia into urea. Current paradigms of treatment focus on dietary manipulations, ammonia scavenger drugs, and orthotopic liver ...
