The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is rich in taurine, a conditionally essential amino acid functioning in anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-aging, osmoregulation, and neuromodulation. Breeding oyster varieties with enhanced taurine content is significant to meet people's demand for high-quality oysters. In the present study, polymorphisms in the oyster cysteamine dioxygenase (CgADO) gene that encodes the central enzyme of the cysteamine pathway for taurine synthesis were investigated, and their association with taurine content was assessed in the Changhai (CH) and Qinhuangdao (QHD) populations.

Infantile cystinosis is a rare systemic hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal cystine accumulation in cells, leading to various complications. Ophthalmological involvement is one of the major complications of this condition and significantly impacts visual prognosis. We report the case of a five-year-old male patient who was followed up for growth retardation, rickets, and refractory metabolic acidosis and was referred to ophthalmology for severe photophobia.

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is unavoidable during kidney transplant and it is responsible for delayed or non-function after kidney transplantation. Cysteamine is the standard drug in the management of nephropathic cystinosis and its extra-renal complications. Thus, we designed this study to investigate its potential against renal reperfusion injury.

The research aimed to examine the impact of coated cysteamine (CS) and choline chloride (CC) on relieving the pathological effects of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome (FLHS) in laying hens. FLHS was induced by a high-energy low-protein (HELP) diet. Ninety laying hens were equally divided into 5 treatments with 6 replicates per treatment (3 hens/replicate).

In infantile nephropathic cystinosis, variants of the CTNS gene cause accumulation of cystine in lysosomes, causing progressive damage to most organs. Patients usually present before 1 year of age with signs of renal Fanconi syndrome. Cysteamine therapy allows cystine clearance from lysosomes and delays kidney damage but does not prevent progression to end-stage kidney disease, suggesting that pathways unrelated to cystine accumulation are also involved.
