Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, a lysosomal storage disorder caused by defective NPC1/NPC2 function, results in the accumulation of cholesterol and glycosphingolipids in lysosomes of affected organs, such as liver and brain. Moreover, increase of mitochondrial cholesterol (mchol) content and impaired mitochondrial function and GSH depletion contribute to NPC disease. However, the underlying mechanism of mchol accumulation in NPC disease remains unknown. As STARD1 is crucial in intramitochondrial cholesterol trafficking and acid ceramidase (ACDase) has been shown to regulate STARD1, we explored the functional relationship between ACDase and STARD1 in NPC disease.

There is an urgent need to endorse a protective therapy for ALS patients. Possible treatments might be based on the underlying molecular pathophysiology. Some of the ALS dysregulated routes could be targeted by a single hit in NRF2. NRF2 emerged as a druggable target in preclinical and clinical trials for ALS.
