Overexpression of human acid ceramidase precursor and variants of the catalytic center in Sf9 cells : Analysis of ceramidase maturation, autocatalytic processing and interaction with Sap-D [PDF]
Ceramides are important building blocks of eukaryotic membranes and primarily serve as membrane anchors of GSLs and sphingomyelins. The lysosomal degradation of ceramide is catalyzed by acid ceramidase and requires the interaction with Sap-D in vivo ...

Intestinal neutral ceramidase exacerbates MASH pathogenesis
Background Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and its more severe manifestation, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), are intimately linked to genetic factors, gut microbiota and barrier alteration.

F13A1‐Mediated Macrophage Activation Promotes MASH Progression via the PKM2/HIF1A Pathway
In fatty liver disease, hepatocytes exposed to palmitate release S1P, which activates calcium signaling in macrophages. Elevated calcium enhances the activity of F13A1, driving PKM2 dimerization. The PKM2 dimers cause Warburg effect, translocate to the nucleus, cooperate with HIF1A, and upregulate IL1B expression, ultimately promoting classical ...

Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Recent research highlights cutaneous dysbiosis as a critical factor in its pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the interplay between the skin microbiota and host immunity, contrasting the homeostatic ...

In Yoo and Mainkar et al., we present a minimally invasive, CM‐selective modRNA delivery system encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles for intravenous (IV) administration. This platform enables selective cardiac translation of therapeutic modRNA but suppresses expression in off‐target tissues, including tumors.
