Subaqueous delta of the Ganges-Brahmaputra river system
Abstract The Ganges-Brahmaputra is among the world's three largest river systems in terms of sediment load, but, until now, no high-resolution seismic data have been obtained to document the nature… Expand

Intrathecal enzyme replacement therapy reduces lysosomal storage in the brain and meninges of the canine model of MPS I.
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has been developed for several lysosomal storage disorders, including mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), and is effective at reducing lysosomal storage in many tissues… Expand

Chemically modified β-glucuronidase crosses blood–brain barrier and clears neuronal storage in murine mucopolysaccharidosis VII
Enzyme replacement therapy has been used successfully in many lysosomal storage diseases. However, correction of brain storage has been limited by the inability of infused enzyme to cross the… Expand

Central nervous system-directed AAV2/5-mediated gene therapy synergizes with bone marrow transplantation in the murine model of globoid-cell leukodystrophy.
Globoid-cell leukodystrophy (GLD) is a rapidly progressing inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a deficiency in galactosylceramidase activity. Previous studies in the murine model of GLD… Expand

Increased life span and correction of metabolic defects in murine mucopolysaccharidosis type VII after syngeneic bone marrow transplantation.
The gusmps/gusmps mouse has no beta-glucuronidase activity and develops murine mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII). The clinical and pathologic abnormalities are similar to those found in humans… Expand

Intrathecal enzyme replacement therapy: successful treatment of brain disease via the cerebrospinal fluid.
Treatment of brain disease with recombinant proteins is difficult due to the blood-brain barrier. As an alternative to direct injections into the brain, we studied whether application of high… Expand

Adeno-associated virus 2-mediated gene therapy decreases autofluorescent storage material and increases brain mass in a murine model of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL) is the earliest onset form of a class of inherited neurodegenerative disease called Batten disease. INCL is caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal… Expand

AAV2/5 vector expressing galactocerebrosidase ameliorates CNS disease in the murine model of globoid-cell leukodystrophy more efficiently than AAV2.
Globoid-cell leukodystrophy (GLD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the galactosylceramidase (GALC) gene. Infantile GLD has a lethal course with severe… Expand

Neuropathology of murine mucopolysaccharidosis type VII
Abstract We describe the neuropathology in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) mice with a recessively inherited deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme β-glucuronidase. Affected animals have a… Expand
