Deep Learning‐Assisted Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The analytical capabilities of coherent Raman scattering microscopy are augmented through deep learning integration. This synergistic paradigm improves fundamental performance via denoising, deconvolution, and hyperspectral unmixing. Concurrently, it enhances downstream image analysis including subcellular localization, virtual staining, and clinical ...

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

Journal 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 ...

Eczema and ceramides: an update [PDF]

Contact Dermatitis, 2013
SummaryAlthough normal epidermal barrier function depends on numerous factors, including corneocytes, lipids, enzymes, pH, and calcium gradient, the key players are lipids and proteins in the stratum corneum. Atopic dermatitis is characterized by barrier abnormalities, such as the presence of filaggrin mutations in almost 50% of patients with moderate ...

Nanostructured Deep Eutectic Systems in Healthcare: From Bioactive Solvents to Intelligent Biointerfaces, Wearables, and AI‐Driven Design

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Beyond the green solvent paradigm, this review redefines Deep Eutectic Systems (DES) as programmable supramolecular nanoassemblies. We survey their biomedical convergence: stabilizing thermolabile mRNA to enable cold chain‐free logistics, reshaping transdermal microneedle delivery, enabling long‐term wearables via eutectogels, and utilizing Generative ...

Mitochondrial ceramide-rich macrodomains functionalize Bax upon irradiation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND:Evidence indicates that Bax functions as a "lipidic" pore to regulate mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP), the apoptosis commitment step, through unknown membrane elements.

Design Considerations for Polymer–Deep Eutectic Solvent Hybrid Systems for Transdermal Drug Delivery

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) act as tunable, green excipients that modulate polymer structure–property relationships to enhance drug solubility, skin permeation, stability, and controlled release. Through hydrogen‐bond interactions, DES–polymer hybrid systems enable improved transdermal performance, offering a rational, design‐driven platform for ...

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

Journal 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
