Integrative multi-omics and machine learning reveals the spatial niche distribution and role of CYP27A1+TAMs in immunotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
BackgroundThe response rate to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) varies significantly among individuals. Cancer-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key components of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), influencing

Tissue specific role of ABCA1 in lung cholesterol homeostasis under high-cholesterol diet [PDF]
BackgroundATP-binding cassette subfamily A1 (ABCA1) and sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) are essential regulators of cholesterol metabolism. However, their tissue-specific roles, particularly in the lung, under high-cholesterol diet (HCD) conditions ...

Polygenic Prediction of Equestrian Sport Discipline Among Horses Bred for Jumping and Dressage. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Horses bred for different equestrian sports vary in physical, physiological and behavioural requirements. Characterising genetic markers associated with discipline provides an opportunity to improve identification of horses best suited to either jumping or dressage.

Heterozygous CYP27A1 gene mutation presenting with Achilles tendon xanthoma: a case report [PDF]
Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder involving bile acid biosynthesis. Reduced mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzyme activity leads to abnormal lipid accumulation in various tissues, especially ...

Targeting Brain Cholesterol Homeostasis in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives. [PDF]
Brain cholesterol homeostasis is tightly regulated and largely independent of peripheral cholesterol. This review proposes a unifying framework in which aging, sex, and related biological stressors, including hypercholesterolemia, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and oxidative stress, converge to disrupt cholesterol homeostasis in the brain ...
