Abstract
Pompe disease or glycogen storage disease type II (OMIM: 232300) is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a partial or total lack of acid alphaglucosidase, which may produce muscle weakness, gait abnormalities, or even death by respiratory failure. In the last decade, autophagy has been proposed as a mechanism involved in the severity of symptoms related to this disorder and as a potential therapeutic target to alleviate disease progression. This review summarizes the relationship between autophagy and Pompe disease, including what information has been recently discovered and what remains unclear.
Keywords: Autophagy, Glycogen synthase, LC3, Lysosomes, Pompe disease, Recombinant human GAA.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
