HSP70 and lysosomal storage disorders: novel therapeutic opportunities.
Lysosomes, with their arsenal of catabolic enzymes and crucial metabolic housekeeping functions are experiencing a revived research interest after having lived a rather quiet life for the last few decades. With the discovery of the interaction of the lysosomes with another ancient component of cellular homoeostasis, the molecular chaperone HSP70 (heat-shock protein 70), the stage seems set for ...
متن کاملEmerging therapies and therapeutic concepts for lysosomal storage diseases
Introduction: The success of the first enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for a lysosomal storage disease (LSD) and the regulatory and commercial incentives provided by authorities for orphan and rare diseases has spawned a massive interest for developing drugs for these intriguing but devastating genetic disorders. The potential for new drugs in this arena is vast, as not only a high number of L...

157 in the delivery room, and the normal newborn with a number of very pertinent sections about the situations in which the neonate finds himself in most serious trouble. The chapter on assessment of gestational age, for example, has both pictures and charts which will allow the physician to compare the physical examination in the patient with established standards. Pictures are of excellent qu...
متن کاملLysosomal storage diseases
Lysosomes are cytoplasmic organelles that contain a variety of different hydrolases. A genetic deficiency in the enzymatic activity of one of these hydrolases will lead to the accumulation of the material meant for lysosomal degradation. Examples include glycogen in the case of Pompe disease, glycosaminoglycans in the case of the mucopolysaccharidoses, glycoproteins in the cases of the oligosac...
متن کاملClarifying lysosomal storage diseases.
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a class of metabolic disorders caused by mutations in proteins critical for lysosomal function. Such proteins include lysosomal enzymes, lysosomal integral membrane proteins, and proteins involved in the post-translational modification and trafficking of lysosomal proteins. There are many recognized forms of LSDs and, although individually rare, their combi...
