Role of cholesterol synthesis in regulation of bile acid synthesis and biliary cholesterol secretion in humans.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
We used lovastatin, a specific inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, to study the role of cholesterol synthesis in regulation of both bile acid synthesis, measured by release of 14CO2 from [26-14C]cholesterol, and biliary cholesterol secretion, measured by ...

Ionizable Lipid‐Dependent Optimization of Steroid Lipid Nanoparticles With Tunable Immunomodulatory Properties

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel engineering strategy that establishes material design principles for incorporating anti‐inflammatory steroids into lipid nanoparticles to reduce LNP‐induced inflammation while retaining mRNA delivery. Results are validated in vitro and in three animal models of inflammation and autoimmunity in vivo.

Integrated Multi-Omics Investigation of Gypenosides’ Mechanisms in Lowering Hepatic Cholesterol

Biomolecules
(1) Objective: This study aimed to systematically elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which gypenosides (GP), a major active component of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, ameliorate hypercholesterolemia by modulating the hepatic steroidogenesis pathway, and to

Anisotropic Masked Mycobacterium Potentiates Amplified Antitumor Trained Immunity via Spleen Targeting and Myelopoiesis Conversion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An engineered Trojan Mycobacterium, developed via a “peeling‐off and masking‐up” strategy, functions as a powerful splenic myelopoiesis converter. This spleen‐targeted nanomedicine induces trained immunity to reprogram immunosuppressive myeloid reservoirs into antitumoral effectors.

Polymorphisms in the ABCG5 and ABCG8 genes associate with cholesterol absorption and insulin sensitivity

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The roles of polymorphisms of the sitosterolemia genes ABCG5 and ABCG8 in the regulation of cholesterol metabolism and insulin sensitivity were studied in mildly hypercholesterolemic noncoronary subjects (n = 263, 144 men and 119 women) divided into ...

Esterified Cholesterol Conjugates Enable LNP‐Mediated mRNA Delivery to the Blood–Brain Barrier Following Intravenous Administration

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A cholesterol‐conjugated lipid library enabled the identification of a ligand‐free LNP platform for efficient mRNA delivery to brain endothelial cells via systemic administration. This platform achieves selective BBB targeting without disrupting barrier integrity, and enables modulation of neuroinflammation and vascular function without requiring trans‐
