Challenges in Gene‐Directed Therapies for Rare Neurodevelopmental Disorders Using HNRNPU as an Exemplar

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
Beyond diagnosing rare neurodevelopmental disorders like HNRNPU‐RNDD, developing gene‐directed therapies requires overcoming complex hurdles, including spatial, developmental, and cell‐type constraints. Addressing these requires understanding the molecular effects of dosage and chromatin dynamics to deliver precise, effective treatments.

Robust passive and active efflux of cellular cholesterol to a designer functional mimic of high density lipoprotein

Journal of Lipid Research, 2015
The ability of HDL to support macrophage cholesterol efflux is an integral part of its atheroprotective action. Augmenting this ability, especially when HDL cholesterol efflux capacity from macrophages is poor, represents a promising therapeutic strategy.

Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Intestinal cholesterol absorption is substantially reduced in mice deficient in both ABCA1 and ACAT2

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The process of cholesterol absorption has yet to be completely defined at the molecular level. Because of its ability to esterify cholesterol for packaging into nascent chylomicrons, ACAT2 plays an important role in cholesterol absorption.

Novel ABCA1 mutations in Tangier disease associated with early‐onset type 2 diabetes: A case report

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tangier disease (TD) is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the ATP‐binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene with autosomal recessive inheritance and is characterized by extremely low high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) and premature atherosclerosis.

PXR induces CYP27A1 and regulates cholesterol metabolism in the intestine

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Mitochondrial sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) catalyzes oxidative cleavage of the sterol side chain in the bile acid biosynthetic pathway in the liver and 27-hydroxylation of cholesterol in most tissues. Recent studies suggest that 27-hydroxycholesterol (

Nitroalkylation Mediated by Nitro‐Fatty Acids Is Involved in Key Physiological Processes During Arabidopsis thaliana Development

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitro‐fatty acids (NO2‐FAs) are potent electrophiles that react with nucleophilic residues in proteins (cysteines, histidines and lysines) via a process known as nitroalkylation. This reversible post‐translational modification (PTM) functions as a selective signalling mechanism by modulating the structure, transport, and catalysis of target ...

A primary cell‐based fluidic co‐culture model to investigate drug transport across the human placenta

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of a flow‐driven in vitro model of the human placental barrier designed to study transport processes during pregnancy. The model recreates key features of the maternal–fetal interface, enabling the investigation of how nutrients and therapeutic compounds cross the placental barrier under physiologically ...

A high cholesterol diet accelerates Alzheimer's progression by promoting fibrotic damage in rats

Brain Disorders
The literature documents the ability of oxysterols and TGFβ to cause fibrotic damage in the brain. Our study explores the potential mechanisms of oxysterol interactions with fibrotic mediators in Alzheimer's disease.
