The therapeutic aspects of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) for cancer and their development: from nature to laboratory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors, which are widely distributed in mammalian tissues. ECS regulates various cardiovascular, nervous, and immune system functions inside cells.

Hepatotoxicity of Nonesterified Fatty Acids to Dairy Cows: Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Prospective Solutions

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Unregulated inflammation increases non‐esterified fatty acids (NEFAs), and triggers multi‐pathway hepatocyte damage including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic disorders in dairy cows. ABSTRACT Circulating concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) are elevated due to lipid mobilization from adipose tissue in ...

Inhibition of de novo ceramide biosynthesis by FTY720 protects rat retina from light-induced degeneration

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Light-induced retinal degeneration (LIRD) in albino rats causes apoptotic photoreceptor cell death. Ceramide is a second messenger for apoptosis. We tested whether increases in ceramide mediate photoreceptor apoptosis in LIRD and if inhibition of ...

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Galectin-1 sensitizes resting human T lymphocytes to Fas (CD95)-mediated cell death via mitochondrial hyperpolarization, budding, and fission. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Galectins have emerged as a novel family of immunoregulatory proteins implicated in T cell homeostasis. Recent studies showed that galectin-1 (Gal-1) plays a key role in tumor-immune escape by killing antitumor effector T cells.

Overcoming intranasal delivery barriers with ultrastable polyzwitterionic siRNA nanocages for enhanced glioblastoma therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A ROS‐responsive, zwitterionic nanocage enables stable, intranasal siRNA delivery to glioblastoma, promoting deep tumor penetration via non‐degradative pathways and trigeminal nerve transport. This platform achieves durable gene silencing and tumor suppression, offering a non‐invasive, storage‐stable strategy for treating glioma and other neurological ...

Ceramide activation of RhoA/Rho kinase impairs actin polymerization during aggregated LDL catabolism[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2017
Macrophages use an extracellular, hydrolytic compartment formed by local actin polymerization to digest aggregated LDL (agLDL). Catabolism of agLDL promotes foam cell formation and creates an environment rich in LDL catabolites, including cholesterol and

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: Bridging Hepatic and Cardiovascular Outcomes

open access: yesChronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
Endogenous GLP‐1 and exogenous GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1R‐expressing vagal afferents in the portal vein, projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). This input engages brainstem–hypothalamic circuits that regulate metabolic homeostasis. Hypothalamic efferent vagal output to the liver suppresses lipogenesis, enhances triglyceride export, and ...

Ceramide structural features required to stimulate ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2006
Ceramide is a component of the sphingomyelin cycle and a well-established lipid signaling molecule. We recently reported that ceramide specifically increased ABCA1-mediated cholesterol efflux to apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), a critical process that leads ...
