Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a multisystem X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A). This deficiency results in the intracellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids, primarily uncleaved globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and its deacylated form, lyso-globotriaosylceramide (Lyso-Gb3), leading to progressive organ damage and functional impairment. The diagnostic evaluation for AFD involves clinical assessment and family history, supported by biochemical testing (α-Gal A enzyme activity and Lyso-Gb3 levels) and genetic analysis of the GLA gene.

Recently, the role of T cells in the pathology of α-synuclein (αS)-mediated neurodegenerative disorders called synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy, has attracted increasing attention. Although the existence of αS-specific T cells and the immunogenicity of the post-translationally modified αS fragment have been reported in PD and DLB, the key cellular subset associated with disease progression and its induction mechanism remain largely unknown.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from synucleinopathy patients and healthy controls were cultured in the presence of the αS peptide pools.

Camelina sativa is an oilseed crop rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), an n-3 fatty acid (FA), and is resistant to harsh climates and pests. Previously, supplementation with camelina oil (CAM) in horses had no adverse effects on basic health parameters and had comparable skin and coat parameters as both flaxseed oil (FLX) and canola oil (OLA). Further, the plasma FA profile of horses was reflective of their respective treatment oil.
