Stains Induce Apoptosis and Autophagy in Primary and Transformed Mast Cells [PDF]

, 2016
Statin drugs are widely employed in the clinic to reduce serum low density lipoproteins (LDLs) in patients with hypocholesteremia. In addition to their cholesterol-lowering effects through HMG CoA reductase antagonism, isoprenyl lipids necessary for ...

A Plant‐Based Platform for the Production of Bark Beetle Pheromones

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2442-2456, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Bark beetle species of the genera Ips and Dendroctonus represent a threat to forests in both North America and Europe. Under normal circumstances, these beetles recycle dying trees into nutrients, but under certain conditions, growing populations can overcome healthy tree defenses and cause severe economic loss in forestry.

The Inhibition of Mevalonic Kinase by Geranyl and Farnesyl Pyrophosphates

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1968
Abstract The inhibition in vitro of a highly purified preparation of mevalonate kinase by terpenyl pyrophosphates has been studied. Geranyl-PP and farnesyl-PP are potent inhibitors, while isopentenyl-PP, dimethylallyl-PP, and inorganic pyrophosphate do not inhibit significantly.

The Contribution of Cholesterol and Squalene Synthase in Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms, Lipid Rafts and Therapeutic Approaches

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 352-381, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

Systematic characterization of ubiquitination modification of EuFPS1 in Eucommia ulmoides

Industrial Crops and Products
The enzyme Farnesyl pyrophosphate Synthase (FPS) plays a critical role in the production process of Eucommia ulmoides rubber (Eu-rubber), catalyzing the production of farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP), the direct precursor for rubber formation.

Navigating the cholesterol maze: Key insights on use of statins in neurodegenerative disorders

Neuroprotection, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 30-47, March 2026.
The graphical abstract encapsulates the dual neuroprotective mechanisms of statins in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting both cholesterol‐dependent and cholesterol‐independent pathways. By inhibiting 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG‐CoA) reductase, statins reduce cholesterol synthesis, leading to altered lipid raft structures that ...

Simvastatin inhibits TLR8 signaling in primary human monocytes and spontaneous TNF production from rheumatoid synovial membrane cultures [PDF]

, 2015
Simvastatin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects that are independent of its serum cholesterol lowering action, but the mechanisms by which these anti-inflammatory effects are mediated have not been elucidated.

Molecular mechanisms associated with rootstock–scion interactions in rubber trees

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is the main source of natural rubber worldwide. In commercial plantations, high‐yield rubber tree clones are propagated by grafting onto seedling rootstocks. In this study, the transcriptomes of the RRIM 600 clone grafted on different rootstocks in southeastern Brazil were evaluated. Exclusively expressed genes
