Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Feb 11;20(3):751. doi: 10.3390/ijms20030751.

Abstract

The authors of the recently published, "Molecular Pathways and Respiratory Involvement in Lysosomal Storage Diseases", provide an important review of the various mechanisms of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD) and how they culminate in similar clinical pathologies [...].
