The induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from a male child with Danon disease. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) revealed a stop gained mutation c.467 T > G in LAMP2 gene. PBMCs were reprogrammed by using non-integrating Sendai reprogramming kits. It is a possible cell model to screen alternative medicine treatment of the Danon disease.

For years, the treatment of many cardiomyopathies has been solely focused on symptom management. However, cardiomyopathies have a genetic substrate, and directing therapy towards the pathophysiology rather than the epiphenomenon of the disease may be a winning strategy. Gene therapy involves the insertion of genes or the modification of existing ones and their regulatory elements through strategies like gene replacement and gene editing.

Background: PET imaging of activated microglia has improved our understanding of the pathology behind disability progression in MS, and pro-inflammatory microglia at 'smoldering' lesion rims have been implicated as drivers of disability progression. The P2X R is upregulated in the cellular membranes of activated microglia. A single-tissue dual-input model was applied to quantify P2X R binding in the normal appearing white matter, perilesional areas and thalamus among progressive MS patients, healthy controls and newly diagnosed relapsing MS patients.

Background: Danon disease is a rare, X-linked, monogenic cardiomyopathy caused by mutations in the lysosomal-associated membrane 2 gene (), which encodes the LAMP2 protein. In male patients, the predominant phenotype is progressive cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac dysfunction, and early death. There are no directed therapies for the disease.
