Concluding our limited series related to the SSIEM 2024 meeting in Porto. We reflect on Day 3 and modelling disease through organoids, nursing in IMD investigation of hypoglycaemia. We also hear more about dolichol metabolism and George Komrower.

Thoughts on the second day of SSIEM 2024 annual symposium and a little preview of day 3.

A look back on the first day of the SSIEM 2024 Annual Symposium and a preview of Day 2 with Rodrigo Starosta co-hosting.

The first of a series of podcasts accompanying the 2024 annual symposium of the SSIEM 2024. In this episode Dr Dulce Quelhas reflects on her plans for the meeting and just how long it has been gestating. Stay tuned for daily content.

Professor Judy Fridovich-Keil returns to the podcast to explain her work to illustrate whether the phenotype of galactosemia is related to GALT activity or galactose metabolism. Her group have been working with plant enzymes in fruit flies.

Restoring galactose metabolism without restoring GALT rescues both compromised survival in larvae and an adult climbing deficit in a GALT-null D. melanogaster model of classic galactosemia

Professors Fréd Vaz and Ronald Wanders present an entertaining and informative overview of fatty acid homeostasis and explain why the catabolic and anabolic processes cannot be considered separately.

Dr Annet Bosch describes three cases where young adults developed worsening neurological symptoms after a change in diet. Initially confused with Guillan-Barré Syndrome, this treatable condition may be hard to diagnose but devastating to miss.

Dr Irena Muffels is joined by Professor Eva Morava to discuss insights into heterozygous DHDDS variants, an autosomal dominant IMD that appears to impact on multiple different metabolic pathways.
