The main objective of this prospective, multicenter study (REVEAL-CP) was to test children with cerebral palsy-like signs and symptoms for raised 3--methyldopa (3-OMD) blood levels, a biomarker for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCd). A secondary objective was to characterize the molecular basis for the defective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene product. Patients were identified in pediatric secondary and tertiary care hospitals through database searches and personal communication.

Peptides can operate as therapeutic agents that sit within a privileged space between small molecules and larger biologics. Despite examples of their potential to regulate receptors and modulate disease pathways, the development of peptides with drug-like properties remains a challenge. In the quest to optimize physicochemical parameters and improve target selectivity, unnatural amino acids (UAAs) have emerged as critical tools in peptide- and peptidomimetic-based drugs.

Background: Levodopa-entacapone-carbidopa intestinal gel (LECIG) infusion was introduced to the Swedish market in 2019 for Parkinson's disease (PD) with motor fluctuations. Long-term data are lacking.
Objectives: To study long-term data on LECIG treatment.

Background: Risk assessment at diagnosis is crucial for neuroblastoma (NB) in order to address patients at high-risk to the most timely and appropriate treatments. 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD), a direct metabolite of L-Dopa, is a promising biomarker of NB at diagnosis able to stratify high-risk patients.
Methods: We show the development and validation of a method for measuring 3-OMD from dried plasma samples (DPS) and plasma using liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) on a Thermo Fisher Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 120.
