The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance

Glia, Volume 73, Issue 12, Page 2338-2352, December 2025.
Main Points Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons dunng rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production ...

Increased plasma cholestanol and 5 alpha-saturated plant sterol derivatives in subjects with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1985
We have measured plasma sterol composition in 14 subjects with sitosterolemia and xanthomatosis. In addition to elevated plasma phytosterol (campesterol 16 +/- 7 mg/dl and sitosterol 35 +/- 16 mg/dl) and normal to moderately high cholesterol levels (258 +

The Evolving Trend of Liver Transplantation in Metabolic Diseases: From Origins to Current Perspectives

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LTx) has become, over the years, an increasingly used therapeutic option in patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Initially performed for Tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, it now accounts as the second indication for pediatric transplants worldwide. The use of LTx has been extended

Screening Tool Improves Recognition of Movement Disorders by Internists and Paediatricians in Patients With Inherited Metabolic Diseases

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Movement disorders are common in inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) and significantly impact quality of life. Unfortunately, they are often underrecognised by metabolic physicians. This study investigated whether a new screening tool improves recognition of movement disorders in IMD patients by non‐neurologists.
