Glycogen storage disease type III (GSDIII) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a deficiency of glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) leading to cytosolic glycogen accumulation and inducing liver and muscle pathology. Skin fibroblasts from three GSDIII patients were reprogrammed into i...

The outer blood-retina barrier (oBRB), crucial for the survival and the proper functioning of the overlying retinal layers, is disrupted in numerous diseases affecting the retina, leading to the loss of the photoreceptors and ultimately of vision. To study the oBRB and/or its degeneration, many ...

Alteration in the development, maturation, and projection of dopaminergic neurons has been proposed to be associated with several neurological and psychiatric disorders. Therefore, understanding the signals modulating the genesis of human dopaminergic neurons is crucial to elucidate disease etio...

Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND) is a X-linked genetic disease affecting boys characterized by complex neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms. LND is caused by loss of function mutations in the HPRT1 gene leading to decrease activity of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase enzyme (HGPRT) ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction involving mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM) dysregulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of late-onset neurodegenerative diseases, but understanding is limited for rare early-onset conditions. Loss of the MAM-resident protein WFS1 causes Wolfram syndrome (WS),...
