متن کاملCardiovascular manifestations of Fabry disease and the novel therapeutic strategies.
Fabry disease is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by a pathological intracellular glycosphingolipid deposition. The disease is caused by a deficit in the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galatosidase A, the gene for which is located in the X chrosomal region Xq 22. Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) accumulate progressively in multi-organ vulnerable cells throughout the body, including card...
متن کاملHost-Microbe Interactions in Airway Disease: toward Disease Mechanisms and Novel Therapeutic Strategies
Despite growing efforts to understand the role of the microbiota in airway disease, mechanisms that link microbial community dysbiosis to chronic inflammation remain elusive. Our laboratory is interested in how altered microbiota composition or function influences airway inflammatory diseases, including chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, and cystic fibrosis. Given the tight interplay between host-...
متن کاملEmerging Therapeutic Strategies in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in midto late-life. It currently affects about 10% of individuals older than 65 years old, counting for more than 25 million people in the world (Chiba et al., 2007; Huang and Mucke, 2012; Mattson, 2004). A century has passed since the famous neurologist Alois Alzheimer first described about a 51-year-old female patient with severe p...
متن کاملNeurodegenerative pathways in Parkinson's disease: therapeutic strategies.
Parkinson's disease (PD), considered one of the major neurological disorders, is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra and by the presence of intraneuronal cytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies. The causes for degeneration of PD neurons remain unclear, however, recent findings contributed to clarify this issue. This review will discus...
