Ca2+-mediated higher-order assembly of heterodimers in amino acid transport system b0,+ biogenesis and cystinuria READ FULL STORY HERE Abstract Cystinuria is a genetic disorder characterized by overexcretion of dibasic amino acids and cystine, causing recurrent kidney stones and kidney failure. Mutations of the regulatory glycoprotein rBAT and the amino acid transporter b0,+AT, which [...]

Shedding light on the mechanisms of cystinuria Calcium ions tie cystine transporters for correct trafficking and function A team from the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics (Frankfurt am Main), The Jikei University School of Medicine (Tokyo) and Nara Medical University (Nara) in Japan explored the molecular mechanisms of a genetic disease called cystinuria [...]

The antiviral effects of thiol drugs in COVID-19 A recent study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology investigated the effects of thiol drugs on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a multidimensional disease characterized by pneumonia progressing to respiratory [...]

NOTE: This was a press release from DelveInsight. It looks like the main objective is to look at the potential for investing in companies that are associated with Cystinuria, but there is some great data here, so thought it was work posting. ====================== Cystinuria Market: Industry Analysis, Treatment, Pipeline Drugs and Key Companies By [...]
