Adenovirus-mediated gene transfer results in decreased lysosomal storage in brain and total correction in liver of aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) mouse
Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is a lysosomal storage disease leading to mental retardation, which is caused by deficiency of aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA). AGU is strongly enriched in the Finnish population in ...

Improved technique for the expression of fragile-X in cultured amniotic fluid cells
An improved technique for inducing fra(X) expression in cultured cells was obtained by using diazepam for mitotic arrest and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FUdR) for the induction of fra(X) expression. The method was d...
