The ELBA force field for coarse-grain modeling of lipid membranes

open access: yes, 2011
A new coarse-grain model for molecular dynamics simulation of lipid membranes is presented. Following a simple and conventional approach, lipid molecules are modeled by spherical sites, each representing a group of several atoms.

Biomimetic mineralization‐inspired formulation‐adjuvant integrated circRNA nanovaccine against COVID‐19

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Inspired by the role of Mg2+ in stabilizing RNA secondary structures, we developed a one‐pot biomimetic mineralization method for synthesizing a circular RNA‐based nanovaccine (circRNA@FAiNVac) that integrates formulation and adjuvant functions. This nanovaccine exhibits potent immunostimulatory activation enabling multimodal immune responses and ...

Interaction of a human plasma lipid transfer protein complex with lipid monolayers

open access: yes, 1982
The interaction of a purified human plasma lipid transfer complex with cholesteryl ester, triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine in binary and ternary lipid monolayers was investigated.

Cholesterol signaling in single cells: lessons from STAR and sm-FISH

open access: yes, 2018
Cholesterol is an important regulator of cell signaling, both through direct impacts on cell membranes and through oxy-metabolites that activate specific receptors (steroids, hydroxy-cholesterols, bile acids). Cholesterol moves slowly through and between

Biochemical and Molecular Insights Into Monocrotaline‐Induced Hepatotoxicity: An Experimental Mouse Study

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Monocrotaline (MCT), a plant‐derived pyrrolizidine alkaloid, is well known for its hepatotoxic effects. However, full elucidation of the mechanisms underlying MCT‐induced hepatotoxicity, as well as the development of reliable biomarkers for early detection and monitoring, requires an integrated evaluation of biochemical, molecular, and ...

Cytosolic StAR-related lipid transfer domain 4 (STARD4) protein influences keratinocyte lipid phenotype and differentiation status

open access: yes, 2011
Background Terminally differentiating keratinocytes actively synthesize and accumulate cholesterol, which is a key constituent of intercellular lipid lamellae which contribute to the epidermal permeability barrier.

Plasma Very‐Long‐Chain Fatty Acids in X‐Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy: Diagnostic Insights From a Clinical Laboratory Cohort

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Plasma VLCFA levels are increased in symptomatic X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy, particularly in patients with cerebral involvement. However, they do not reliably predict disease progression or longitudinal changes. These findings support their diagnostic value while highlighting the need for more robust prognostic biomarkers in clinical practice ...

Chronic, Environmentally Relevant PM2.5 Exposure Exacerbates Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Early‐Stage Renal Dysfunction in a Rodent Model

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While epidemiological studies link fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and renal dysfunction, a translational gap exists, as most animal models utilize acute, high‐dose exposures that poorly reflect chronic, moderate‐level human scenarios.

Impact of Heated Versus Unheated Cooking Oil on Postprandial Vascular Function and Metabolism

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of repeated heating of seed‐based culinary oils on cardiometabolic health has not been well established. Heating oils to high temperatures (> 150°C) causes lipid peroxidation, thus generating potentially harmful compounds that may impair vascular function. This randomized, single‐blind, crossover study investigated the acute effects

High density lipoproteins and reverse cholesterol transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The e>:periments described in this thesis were performed in order to clarify the mechanism of efflux of cellular cholesterol, a key step in reverse cholesterol transport.
