Genetic obesity increases pancreatic expression of mitochondrial proteins which regulate cholesterol efflux in BRIN-BD11 insulinoma cells [PDF]
Pancreatic β-cells are sensitive to fluctuations in cholesterol content, which can damage the insulin secretion pathway, contributing to the aetiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Pregnancy and the Biliary Tract
Pregnancy induces many physiological changes, some of which may have pathological results. In population studies, gallstones were found in 6.5% to 8.4% of nulliparous women, and in 18.4% to 19.3% of women with two to three or more pregnancies.

Dendrogenin A drives LXR to trigger lethal autophagy in cancers
Dendrogenin A, cholesterol metabolite, has tumor suppressive properties but the mechanisms are unknown. Here the authors show that Dendrogenin A can induce autophagy-mediated cell death in both melanoma and acute myeloid leukaemia.

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction
Cholesterol crystals are the building blocks of cholesterol gallstones. The exact structure of early-forming crystals is still controversial. We combined cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy with cryogenic-temperature electron ...
