Gandouling alleviates nerve injury through PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 and Sirt1/FoxO1 signaling pathway to inhibit autophagy in the rats model of Wilson's disease
ConclusionFurthermore, it inhibited the expression of autophagy genes Atg12 and Gabarapl1. In summary, our work provides new insights into the potential mechanisms of GDL repairing WD neuronal damage through autophagy pathways. (Source: Brain and Behavior)

Challenges and dilemmas in pediatric hepatic Wilson's disease
World J Hepatol. 2023 Oct 27;15(10):1109-1126. doi: 10.4254/wjh.v15.i10.1109.ABSTRACTWilson disease is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting the ATP7B gene located on chromosome 13q. This leads to copper deposition in various organs, most importantly in the liver and brain. The genetic mutations are vast, well reported in the West but poorly documented in developing countries. Hence the diagnosis is made with a constellation of clinico-laboratory parameters which have significant overlap with other liver diseases and often pose a significant dilemma for clinicians. Diagnostic scoring systems are not fool-proof. The ava...
