📅 Release Date: 4/8/2025
🔬 Topic: Understanding Beta-Mannosidosis and the Innovation Behind Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Episode Overview
In this episode of These Kids Can’t Wait, hosts Erin Hubbard and Laurel Gregier are joined by Dr. Angela Martin, a postdoctoral researcher at the Kimonis Laboratory and a vital force in The Lost Enzyme Project. Together, we discuss beta-mannosidosis, a rare lysosomal storage disorder, and the innovative efforts underway to develop treatments, including a promising new therapy using J-Brain Cargo technology.
Key Takeaways
✔️ What beta-mannosidosis is and why it's so difficult to diagnose and treat
✔️ How J-Brain Cargo technology enables enzyme delivery across the blood-brain barrier
✔️ The stages of drug development—from lab to clinical trials
✔️ Why underdiagnosis is a major issue for ultra-rare diseases
✔️ The power of international collaboration in rare disease innovation
