Acute muscle necrosis was induced in rats by intramuscular injection of plasmocid, a known myotoxic agent. A single injection of 5 mg/ml plasmocid produced massive fiber necrosis with extensive phagocytosis. Plasmocid administration led to a preferential decrease of alpha-actinin with preservation
BACKGROUND
Transgenic animals may serve as organ donors in human organ transplantation. However, the number of the studies addressing all doubts related to this issue is currently insufficient for the clinical application of this approach. The aim of this study was to analyze the hepatic tumor
Fabry's disease is a lipid storage disease caused by an X-linked hereditary deficiency of alpha-galactosidase. The enzymatic defect causes progressive deposition of ceramide trihexoside (CTH) in various tissues, leading to renal failure, premature myocardial infarction, and stroke, with a high rate
Fabry disease, an X-linked recessive glycolipid storage disease, is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A), which cleaves a fatty substance called globotriaosylceramide (GL3). The abnormal storage of GL3 in blood vessel walls leads to ischemia and
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder associated with pain triggered by heat or febrile infections. We modelled this condition by measuring the cytokine expression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from FD patients in vitro upon stimulation with heat and
BACKGROUND
Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked genetic disorder with deficient α-galactosidase A activity. The main aim of this work was to investigate possible differences in urine proteins between healthy controls and AFD patients and to identify abnormal proteins as potential biomarkers
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the biological, immunological, and biomechanical properties of a scaffold derived by architectural modification of a fresh-frozen porcine patella tendon using a decellularization protocol that combines physical, chemical, and enzymatic modalities.
METHODS
Porcine patellar
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase, which leads to accumulation of globotriasylceramides (GL-3) in visceral tissues and vascular endothelium, causing multi-organ failure. We presenta case of Fabry disease
Malaria toxin causes hypoglycemia and induction of tumor necrosis factor. Extracts of parasitized erythrocytes which were coeluted and copurified with one of the two subtypes of mammalian insulin-mimetic inositolphosphoglycans similarly induced fibroblast proliferation in the absence of serum. In
We describe a patient with Fabry's disease who for many years was seen in other clinics and was thought to have an undifferentiated connective tissue disease or an incomplete form of CREST syndrome. He presented with polyarthralgias; multiple telangiectasia-like lesions in his oral mucosa, hands,
Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that leads to cellular globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) accumulation due to mutations in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A. Trigger-induced acral burning pain is an early FD symptom of unknown pathophysiology. We aimed at Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive disorder in which affected persons lack alpha-galactosidase A (alpha -GalA), which leads to excess glycosphingolipids in tissues, mainly globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Gb3 is the cellular receptor for Shiga toxin (Stx), the primary virulence factor of
About 330 targets bind approved drugs, 270 encoded by the human genome and 60 belonging to pathogenic organisms. A large number of druggable targets have been recently proposed from preclinical and first clinical data, but a huge reservoir of putative drug targets, possibly several thousands,
BACKGROUND
Fabry disease, an X-linked lysosomal storage disease, results from deficient α-galactosidase A (α-GalA) activity and the systemic accumulation of α-galactosyl-terminated glycosphingolipids. Two major phenotypes, "Classic" and "Later-Onset", lead to renal failure, and/or cardiac disease,
BACKGROUND
Cardiac disease causes considerable morbidity and mortality in men and women with Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD), an X-linked inborn metabolic defect caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A. Treatment with recombinant enzyme preparations aims to attenuate and reverse
