Dendrogenin A drives LXR to trigger lethal autophagy in cancers
Nature Communications, 2017 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.

Cholesterol Metabolism and Immunity [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 2014 A study in mice implicates a cholesterol derivative in damping down the inflammatory response mediated by interleukin-1β and explaining, at least in part, the immunosuppressive effect of type I interferon, which is used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Cholesterol metabolism and tumor [PDF]
Journal of Zhejiang University (Medical Sciences), 2021 Cholesterol is an important lipid in the body of mammals and an essential component of membrane structures. Cholesterol homeostasis is critical for the maintenance of cellular and body activities, and is mainly regulated by the balance of cholesterol biosynthesis and the exogenous cholesterol uptake. Aberrantly regulated cholesterol metabolism promotes

Pregnancy and the Biliary Tract
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000 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.

Biliary cholesterol crystallization characterized by single-crystal cryogenic electron diffraction
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 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 ...
