Delta-6 desaturase (D6D) catalyzes the first step in the synthesis of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) such as arachidonic (AA), docosapentaenoic (DPAn-6), and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, as well as the last desaturation of DPAn-6 and DHA.

Advancements in Ambient Ionisation Mass Spectrometry in 2024: An Annual Review
ABSTRACT The introduction of ambient ionisation mass spectrometry (AIMS) is among the most important developments in analytical chemistry in recent years. Enabling the direct analysis of samples in their native state with neither sample preparation nor chromatographic separation provides chemical characterisation in a matter of seconds.

Thromboxane A synthase-independent production of 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, a BLT2 ligand[S]
12(S)-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid (12-HHT) has long been considered a by-product of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) biosynthesis with no biological activity.

We used single‐cell and bulk RNA sequencing to analyze ectopic endometrial polyps (EPs) and adjacent eutopic endometrial tissues (EUs), identifying alterations in cell composition and transcriptional dynamics. Notably, mast cells showed increased activation with distinct transcriptional changes.

P388D1 cells release arachidonic acid (AA) and produce prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) upon long-term stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The cytosolic Group IVA (GIVA) phospholipase A2 (PLA2) has been implicated in this pathway.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammation
The n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes and related metabolites) and through these regulates the activities of inflammatory cells, the production of ...

ABSTRACT Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy (PHOAR1) is characterized by autosomal recessive loss of function variants in 15‐hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) leading to digital clubbing, periostosis, pachydermia, and severe hyperhidrosis. HPGD catalyzes the first step of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) degradation.

Maternal IgE Influence on Fetal and Infant Health
ABSTRACT Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most recently discovered and evolved mammalian antibody type, best known for interacting with mast cells (MCs) as immune effectors. IgE‐mediated antigen sensing by MC provides protection from parasites, venomous animals, bacteria, and other insults to barrier tissues exposed to the environment.
