The Role of Progenitor Cells in the Pathogenesis of Arteriosclerosis

open access: yesCardiology Discovery
The increasing incidence of arteriosclerosis has become a significant global health burden. Arteriosclerosis is characterized by the thickening and hardening of arterial walls, which can lead to the narrowing or complete blockage of blood vessels ...

Cholesterol Within Phosphatidylcholine Liposomes Attenuates the Expression of Cytokines

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 13, 15 July 2025.
We previously showed that liposomes made of phosphatidylcholine, a natural phospholipid found in plasma membranes, exosomes, and lipid nanoparticles, strongly induce TNF‐α expression in macrophages. Here, we found that adding free cholesterol to these liposomes significantly reduces this response by inhibiting NF‐κB activation.

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 13, July 11, 2025.
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

Influence of dietary fatty acid composition on the relationship between CETP activity and plasma lipoproteins in monkeys

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2001
CETP activity, measured as transfer of cholesteryl ester from exogenous HDL to exogenous VLDL and LDL, reflecting CETP mass as determined by ELISA, was documented in three groups of St.
