The Role of Urea Cycle Functional Studies in Preclinical Research.

Research methods for measuring urea cycle function advance prospects for gene and enzyme therapies in rare metabolic disorders.

Review of functional assays for urea cycle capacity in preclinical models, evaluating methods for measuring in vivo urea cycle activity relevant to gene therapy and enzyme replacement development for urea cycle disorders. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
