Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For over 40 years, oral cysteamine has been the mainstay of therapy for cystinosis. While it has been of great benefit, slowing organ deterioration and prolonging life, cysteamine is not well tolerated and may not rescue all pathogenic mechanisms driving the disease. Of late, research groups around the world have been pursuing various novel therapeutic strategies. Here we select just four of many examples - two that address events downstream of the missing Cystinosin protein and two that aim to address the upstream CTNS mutation. Our aim is to update the cystinosis community on some of the exciting work in progress. We have drawn from preliminary reports and oral presentations at cystinosis meetings. While each approach requires further work and critical analysis, the sheer number and variety of these potential therapies is cause for hope.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
