Nanoparticles-cell association predicted by protein corona fingerprints [PDF]
, 2016 In a physiological environment (e.g., blood and interstitial fluids) nanoparticles (NPs) will bind proteins shaping a "protein corona" layer. The long-lived protein layer tightly bound to the NP surface is referred to as the hard corona (HC) and encodes ...

Human ApoD, an apolipoprotein up-regulated in neurodegenerative diseases, extends lifespan and increases stress resistance in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2008 Apolipoprotein D (ApoD) expression increases in several neurological disorders and in spinal cord injury. We provide a report of a physiological role for human ApoD (hApoD): Flies overexpressing hApoD are long-lived and protected against stress ...

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023 Intro: Previous studies have suggested an association between HDL, LDL cholesterol and dengue severity; however, the molecules involved in dengue virus (DENV) entry remain poorly understood. This study aims to determine the effects of apolipoproteins A1,

The Carboxyl-Terminal Segment of Apolipoprotein A-V Undergoes a Lipid-Induced Conformational Change [PDF]
, 2010 Apolipoprotein (apo) A-V is a 343-residue, multidomain protein that plays an important role in regulation of plasma triglyceride homeostasis. Primary sequence analysis revealed a unique tetraproline sequence (Pro293-Pro296) near the carboxyl terminus of ...

Influence of apolipoprotein-E gene on lipid profile, physical activity and body fat relationship
Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2012 Physical activity and body fat modify lipemia, and this effect seems to be influenced by apolipoprotein-E (APOE) gene polymorphism. Thus, the purpose of this article was to review main results of studies that have analyzed the relation of APOE gene with ...
