A bacterial sulfonolipid triggers multicellular development in the closest living relatives of animals [PDF]
Bacterially-produced small molecules exert profound influences on animal health, morphogenesis, and evolution through poorly understood mechanisms. In one of the closest living relatives of animals, the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta, we find that ...

Sphingolipids are vital components of cell membranes. Metabolic disruptions of sphingolipids, including ceramide and sphingosine‐1‐phosphate, are linked to neurological disorders. This article summarizes the classification, structure, and metabolic processes of sphingolipids, and the physiological and pathological effects of sphingolipid metabolism and

Isolation and identification of cerebrosides from the marine sponge Chondrilla nucula
A cerebroside mixture has been isolated from the marine sponge Chondrilla nucula. Acid-catalyzed methanolysis of this cerebroside mixture afforded methyl glucosides, three long-chain bases, and a mixture of α-hydroxy fatty acid methyl esters.

Activity of Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterases and Adenylyl Cyclase in Peripheral Nerve after Crush and Permanent Transection Injuries [PDF]
Recent studies demonstrate that cAMP levels are tightly controlled during demyelination and remyelination in Schwann cells as cAMP decreases to 8–10% of normal following both sciatic nerve crush or permanent transection injury and only begins to increase

The Conserved nhaAR Operon Is Drastically Divergent between B2 and Non-B2 Escherichia coli and Is Involved in Extra-Intestinal Virulence [PDF]
The Escherichia coli species is divided in phylogenetic groups that differ in their virulence and commensal distribution. Strains belonging to the B2 group are involved in extra-intestinal pathologies but also appear to be more prevalent as commensals ...

Fundamental Neurochemistry Review: Sphingolipids and Ceramides in Brain Development
Ceramides and sphingolipids in brain development and cell compartments. Ceramides and sphingolipids are known to influence multiple steps of brain development, including the formation of the neural tube, neural stem cell polarity and proliferation at the ventricular boundary, neuronal migration—for example, whilst migrating on radial glial processes ...

Isotopic studies of the biosynthesis of the cerebroside fatty acids in rats
Groups of weanling rats were given a single injection of labeled acetate and were sacrificed at intervals up to 56 days. The saturated acids of brain cerebrosides and brain were isolated by gas-liquid chromatography, counted, and chemically degraded to ...
