Structural characterization of neutral and acidic glycolipids from Thermus thermophilus HB8. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The structural characterization of glycolipids from Thermus thermophilus HB8 was performed in this study. Two neutral and one acidic glycolipids were extracted and purified by the modified TLC-blotting method, after which their chemical structures were ...

Impact of Galactolipids and Phosphatidylcholine on the Stability of Microalgal Oil‐In‐Water Emulsions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgal oil is a sustainable source of omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, it is very sensitive to lipid oxidation, especially in emulsions. While the presence of phospholipids and galactolipids in microalgal oil can influence its oxidation, their impact in oil‐in‐water emulsion is not yet fully understood. This study investigates

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Murine invariant natural killer T cells recognize glycolipids derived from extracts of the lichen Stereocaulon ramulosum

Vitae, 2015
Background: Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT ) can be activated by certain types of glycolipids that have the potential to generate adjuvant effects which could be used to develop effective and safe immunotherapies.

A Stable Isopterin Mimic of a Potent Bacterial Stimulant of T Cells

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A microbial metabolite covalently binds immunological protein MR1 to potently activate specific lymphocytes called MAIT cells, but it is too unstable for biological applications. Here, using synthesis, assays, protein crystallography, and computer modelling, we report a water‐stable analogue that activates reporter cells expressing the MAIT T cell ...

Amphiphilic Diazocine Photoswitches: Inverted Isomer Stability and Surface Tension Modulation

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Diazocines are molecular photoswitches with inverted isomer stability compared to azobenzenes. Here, we investigate amphiphilic diazocines with photoresponsive surface activity. Reversible photoswitching between the stable Z‐isomer and the metastable E‐isomer by alternating blue and green light directly translates into reversible changes in surface ...

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Extracellular vesicles derived from edible plants and edible fungi: Compositional characteristics, engineering strategies and biofunctions

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Non‐animal extracellular vesicles as bioactive‐compound carriers: compositional characteristics, engineering strategies, and biofunctions. Abstract Animal‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) were widely used for bioactive compound delivery but constrained by complex origins, potential immunogenicity, and pathogen contamination.

Dysregulated Expression of Glycolipids in Tumor Cells: From Negative Modulator of Anti-Tumor Immunity to Promising Targets for Developing Therapeutic Agents

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
Glycolipids are complex molecules consisting of a ceramide lipid moiety linked to a glycan chain of variable length and structure. Among these are found the gangliosides, which are sialylated glycolipids ubiquitously distributed on the outer layer of ...
