The antifungal drug voriconazole is an efficient inhibitor of brain cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Cholesterol 24S-hydroxylase (CYP46A1) is of key importance for cholesterol homeostasis in the brain. This enzyme seems to be resistant toward most regulatory factors and at present no drug effects on its activity have been described.

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Characterization of the roles of neuronal cholesterol biosynthesis and ORP4 in hippocampal neurons and glia

, 2016
Cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes and plays important roles in cell signalling. The brain contains a quarter of the body’s total cholesterol pool, all of which is synthesized in situ by neurons and glia, which are the structurally ...
