Lysosphingolipids in ceramide-deficient skin lipid models

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research
Ceramides are key components of the skin's permeability barrier. In atopic dermatitis, pathological hydrolysis of ceramide precursors - glucosylceramides and sphingomyelin - into lysosphingolipids, specifically glucosylsphingosine (GS) and sphingosine ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Failure Assessment Methodologies for Pressure-Retaining Components under Severe Accident Loading

open access: yesScience and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2012
During postulated high-pressure core melt accident scenarios, temperature values of more than 800°C can be reached in the reactor coolant line and the surge line of a pressurised water reactor (PWR), before the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel ...

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

L’évaluation, outil de pilotage

open access: yesRevue Internationale d’Éducation de Sèvres, 2000
For several years in Guinea, the Ministry of Education has been performing an ongoing evaluation programme for primary education as part of efforts to improve education quality. To date, this programme has focused, not on merely evaluating pupils’ levels,

ResnetAge: A Resnet-Based DNA Methylation Age Prediction Method

open access: yesBioengineering, 2023
Aging is a significant contributing factor to degenerative diseases such as cancer. The extent of DNA methylation in human cells indicates the aging process and screening for age-related methylation sites can be used to construct epigenetic clocks ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Climate change and the Great Barrier Reef: a vulnerability assessment

open access: yes, 2007
The Great Barrier Reef is renowned internationally for its ecological importance and the beauty of its seascapes and landscapes. These natural values also provide important ecosystem services, which underpin Australian $6.9 billion worth of economic ...

Ceramides in the skin barrier

open access: yesEuropean Pharmaceutical Journal, 2017
The skin barrier, which is essential for human survival on dry land, is located in the uppermost skin layer, the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum consists of corneocytes surrounded by multilamellar lipid membranes that prevent excessive water loss ...
