Unravelling the Pathogenesis of Celia’s Encephalopathy (PELD): The Role of Seipin in Neurodegeneration, Lipodystrophy, and other Tissue Damage in a Humanized Murine Model

Lipodystrophies are rare disorders, with Celia’s encephalopathy, identified by our research group in 2013, being exceptionally rare with only 33 cases to date. Over the years, our research group has unravelled key pathogenic mechanisms of this disease. However, its rarity, severity, and predominant...
