Complex glycerol kinase deficiency usually presents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, glycerol kinase deficiency and adrenal hypoplasia congenital. We describe a follow-up patient with complex glycerol kinase deficiency who had appropriate intrauterine development, but who at 1 month of age manifested severe growth delay and psychomotor retardation. Targeted therapy did not bring about the regression of symptoms: both bodyweight and height were below the 3rd centile until 8 years of age, and his Griffith's Mental Development scale score was 71 at age 5 years.

CD8T cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) are often functionally impaired, which limits their ability to mount effective anti-tumor responses. However, the molecular mechanisms behind this dysfunction remain incompletely understood. Here, we identified valosin-containing protein (VCP) as a key regulator of CD8T cells suppression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Introduction: Nakaseomyces glabratus is considered a high priority of attention according to WHO, and also is an important yeast species due to its high rate of intrinsic/acquired resistance against fluconazole. This study aimed at the possible mechanisms of action of thymol, as the promising new antifungal agent, in N. glabratus.

Fungi are the most important group of plant pathogens, responsible for many of the world's most devastating crop diseases. One of the reasons they are such successful pathogens is because several fungi have evolved the capacity to breach the tough outer cuticle of plants using specialized infection structures called appressoria. This is exemplified by the filamentous ascomycete fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, causal agent of rice blast, one of the most serious diseases affecting rice cultivation globally.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is more prevalent in women than in men, with factors beyond longevity, like metabolic changes, influencing this increased risk.
- A study conducted metabolomic profiling of blood samples from male and female patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), revealing significant metabolic differences related to sex, particularly in lipid and peptide energy metabolism pathways.
- The research identified specific metabolites unique to each sex, such as higher levels of 1-palmitoleoyl glycerol in females, suggesting these could be potential biomarkers to enhance our understanding of MCI and AD prevention strategies.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects more women than men. Although women live longer than men, it is not longevity alone, but other factors, including metabolic changes, that contribute to the higher risk of AD in women. Metabolic pathways have been implicated in AD progression, but studies to date examined targeted pathways, leaving many metabolites unmeasured.
