Int J Mol Sci . 2024 Jul; 25(14). PMID: 39063173
The gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR) is a rare genetic disease for which no definitive cure is available. GACR is due to the deficit of ornithine aminotransferase...

Bregalda A, Carducci C, Viscomi M, Pierige F, Biagiotti S, Menotta M, et al.
Neurobiol Dis . 2023 Mar; 180:106093. PMID: 36948260
Untreated phenylketonuria (PKU) patients and PKU animal models show hypomyelination in the central nervous system and white matter damages, which are accompanied by myelin basic protein (MBP) impairment. Despite many...

Bianchi M, Rossi L, Pierige F, De Angeli P, Aliano M, Carducci C, et al.
Mol Ther Methods Clin Dev . 2022 Mar; 25:26-40. PMID: 35317049
Here we report, for the first time, the engineering of human red blood cells (RBCs) with an entire metabolic pathway as a potential strategy to treat patients with guanidinoacetate methyltransferase...

Rossi L, Nardecchia F, Pierige F, Ventura R, Carducci C, Leuzzi V, et al.
Genes (Basel) . 2021 Aug; 12(8). PMID: 34440375
Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (GAMT-D) is one of three cerebral creatine (Cr) deficiency syndromes due to pathogenic variants in the GAMT gene (19p13.3). GAMT-D is characterized by the accumulation of guanidinoacetic...

Expert Opin Drug Deliv . 2020 Sep; 18(1):43-54. PMID: 32924643
Introduction: Therapeutic enzymes are currently used in the treatment of several diseases. In most cases, the benefits are limited due to poor stability, immunogenicity, and drug-induced inactivating antibodies. A partial...
