Newborn Screening for Metachromatic Leukodystrophy in Tuscany: The Paradigm of a Successful Preventive Medicine Program by Sabrina Malvagia, Alessandra Bettiol, Margherita Porcaro, Massimo Mura, Silvia Funghini, Daniela Ombrone, Giulia Forni, Emanuela Scolamiero, Filippo Coppi, Roberta Damiano, Cristina Cereda, Simonetta Simonetti, Annalisa Lonetti, Marta Daniotti, Anna Caciotti, Amelia Morrone, Valeria Calbi, Francesca Fumagalli, Alessandro Aiuti, Elena Procopio, Renzo Guerrini, Giancarlo la Marca

“…Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare inherited disorder of lysosomal storage, caused by a deficiency in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) enzyme, leading to toxic accumulation of sulfatides, which progressively impair motor and cognitive function. MLD is a candidate for inclusion in newborn screening (NBS) programs, due to the narrow pre-symptomatic window for effective therapeutic intervention. …”

Highly Stretchable, Self‐Healable, and Conductive Gelatin Methacryloyl Hydrogel for Long‐Lasting Wearable Tactile Sensors by Zhikang Li, Bin Wang, Jijian Lu, Yumeng Xue, Jiaxiang Wang, Boqing Jia, Gengyu Han, Yihe Zhao, Muhammad Afzal Khan Qureshi, Lan Yu, Kang Zhao, Min Li, Ping Yang, Dejiang Lu, Libo Zhao

“…Herein, a highly stretchable, self‐healing, and conductive gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel is developed by incorporating polyvinyl alcohol, N‐(2‐amino‐2‐oxoethyl)‐2‐propenamide, sodium tetraborate, and sodium chloride into GelMA, followed by a two‐step polymerization process. The introduced novel interpenetrating networks, hierarchical hydrogen bonds (weak and strong H‐bonds), and borate ester bonds (BEBs) synergistically improve the mechanical strength, and concurrently function as sacrificial bonds for energy dissipation under deformation. …”
