Long term follow-up of pediatric patients affected by Hurler syndrome enrolled in a phase I/II ex-vivo gene therapy clinical trial and development of a novel ex-vivo gene therapy platform to treat lysosomal storage diseases

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of genetic diseases characterized by errors of metabolism in lysosomal functions, resulting in accumulation of undegraded substrates, which causes multi-organ damage. Skeletal dysplasia is a severe and prominent feature of these diseases, characterized by a broad range of manifestations. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) often in conjunction with pre/peri enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) represents standard of care for som...

L’espressione della cellular retinol binding protein-1 nel carcinoma del polmone

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma are the most common histological subtype and the leading cause of cancer mortality in worldwide. However, the identification of genetic alterations in NSCLC has transformed patients’ treatment. Retinoids promote cancer cell differentiation and death and their trafficking and action is mediated from specific cytoplasmic and nuclear receptors, respectively. Cellular Retinol Binding Protein-1 (CRBP1) is a 15-kDa protein a key compo...
