Globotriaosylsphingosine Levels Measured in Fabry Disease Patients

Fabry disease (FD) is caused by an inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism, a genetic defect resulting in partial or complete deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolase alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A). This enzyme is responsible for breaking down glycolipids such as globotriaosylceramide and its deacylated derivative, globotriaosylsphingosine (LysoGb3). More...

PD-L1 Expression in Circulating Tumor Cells Investigated for NSCLC

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), analysis of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a potential alternative to overcome the problems linked to the tumor biopsy spatiotemporal heterogeneity. However, the prognostic significance of PD-L1-positive [PD-L1(+)] CTCs remains controversial. More...
