Sphingolipids and gangliosides of the nervous system in membrane function and dysfunction
Simple sphingolipids such as ceramide and sphingomyelin (SM) as well as more complex glycosphingolipids play very important roles in cell function under physiological conditions and during disease development and progression.

Glycosylation of glycolipids in cancer: basis for development of novel therapeutic approaches [PDF]
Altered networks of gene regulation underlie many pathologies, including cancer. There are several proteins in cancer cells that are turned either on or off, which dramatically alters the metabolism and the overall activity of the cell, with the complex ...

On why cancer cells require a great amount of glucose
Abstract The traditional thinking has been that cancer cells require a great amount of glucose to support their rapid growth, but the reality may be different. We have previously demonstrated that all cancer cells in The Cancer Genome Atlas harbor persistent Fenton reactions in their cytosol, which generate OH− ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ and ultimately kill the

Within recent years, ganglioside patterns have been increasingly analyzed by MS. However, internal standards for calibration are only available for gangliosides GM1, GM2, and GM3.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Autoimmune nodopathy (AN) is a subtype of antibody‐mediated inflammatory neuropathy targeting the node of Ranvier (NoR). Diagnosis requires detection of anti‐(para)nodal autoantibodies like contactin‐1 and neurofascin‐155 via ELISA or cell‐based assays, but protocols are inconsistent. Causes of node autoimmunity are unknown,

Gangliosides and Neuroblastomas [PDF]
The focus of this review is the ganglio-series of glycosphingolipids found in neuroblastoma (NB) and the myriad of unanswered questions associated with their possible role(s) in this cancer. NB is one of the more common solid malignancies of children. Five-year survival for those diagnosed with low risk NB is 90–95%, while that for children with high ...

Gangliosides from brain of an 8 yr old boy with subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis have been studied in terms of pattern and structure. Thin-layer chromatography showed that both gray and white matter have a highly abnormal pattern, with elevation of ...

Association of NGF receptors with membrane rafts in PC12 cells : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) signal transduction is involved in the survival, differentiation and maintenance of neurons through the receptors TrkA and p75NTR. These receptors activate downstream protein kinase cascades that regulate cell survival.

Neuropathophysiological potential of Guillain-Barré syndrome anti-ganglioside-complex antibodies at mouse motor nerve terminals [PDF]
Objectives: Anti-ganglioside antibodies are present in approximately half of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) patients. Recently, it has been shown that a considerable proportion of these patients has serum antibodies against antigenic epitopes formed by a
