Unlike many of its relatives, ADAM22 is a non-catalytic metalloprotease-like protein, meaning it lacks proteolytic activity4. Picture ADAM22 as the bouncer at an exclusive neural nightclub. It’s involved in regulating cell adhesion and spreading, and it even plays a role in…

Prenatal exposure to paracetamol/acetaminophen and precursor aniline impairs masculinisation of male brain and behaviour
Paracetamol/acetaminophen (N-Acetyl-p-Aminophenol; APAP) is the preferred analgesic for pain relief and fever during pregnancy. It has therefore caused concern that several studies have reported that prenatal exposure to APAP results in developmental alterations in both the reproductive tract and the brain. Genitals and nervous system of male mammals are actively masculinised during foetal development and…

Pompe Disease
Glycogen storage disease type II, also called Pompe disease, is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder[1] which damages muscle and nerve cells throughout the body. It is caused by an accumulation of glycogen in the lysosome due to deficiency of the lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme. It is the only glycogen storage disease with a defect in lysosomal metabolism, and the first glycogen storage disease to be identified, in…
