Evidence for an alternative fatty acid desaturation pathway increasing cancer plasticity
Nature, 2019 Most tumours have an aberrantly activated lipid metabolism1,2 that enables them to synthesize, elongate and desaturate fatty acids to support proliferation.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Alternate pathways of cerebroside catabolism [PDF]
Lipids, 1973 AbstractA search was made for new degradative pathways for glucosyl and galactosyl ceramides in an effort to explain the failure of these lipids to accumulate in the brains of children with Krabbe's or Gaucher's disease. Using various buffers and incubation conditions, we tested brain homogenates from 12 day old rats with the stearate‐labeled and ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) often causes serious complications in liver surgeries, including transplantation. Complement activation seems to be involved in hepatic IRI; however, no complement-targeted intervention has been clinically ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Factor H-related protein 1 in systemic lupus erythematosus
Frontiers in ImmunologyBackgroundFactor H (FH) is a major soluble inhibitor of the complement system and part of a family comprising five related proteins (FHRs 1–5). Deficiency of FHR1 was described to be linked to an elevated risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Complement Alternative Pathway Activation in Human Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
PLoS ONE, 2014 The innate immune system plays a major role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Recently we reported complement activation in human NASH.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...
