Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), together with saturated ...

Impaired levels of gangliosides in the Corpus Callosum of Huntington Disease animal models
Huntington Disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder characterized by broad types of cellular and molecular dysfunctions that may affect both neuronal and non-neuronal cell populations. Among all the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex

Mixed-monolayer glyconanoparticles for the detection of cholera toxin by surface enhanced raman spectroscopy [PDF]
The same interactions that a pathogen uses for establishment in a host can be exploited in its detection. The carbohydrates comprising the intestinal cell surface GM1-ganglioside, are targeted by vibrio cholerae via the lectin, cholera toxin, to initiate

Anti-GM1 ganglioside antibodies in Parkinson's disease.
To determine whether anti-GM1 antibodies are increased in Parkinson's disease (PD).Serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG anti-GM1 antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 147 patients with PD and in 186 age-matched normal control subjects.

Effect of serum on ganglioside uptake and choleragen responsiveness of transformed mouse fibroblasts
NCTC 2071 cells, transformed mouse fibroblasts, did not respond to choleragen when grown in chemically defined medium. When grown in medium containing 10% fetal calf serum, however, the cells accumulated cyclic AMP upon exposure to the toxin ...

Detachment of Membrane Bound Virions by Competitive Ligand Binding Induced Receptor Depletion [PDF]
Multivalent receptor-mediated interactions between virions and a lipid membrane can be weakened using competitive nonpathogenic ligand binding. In particular, the subsequent binding of such ligands can induce detachment of bound virions, a phenomenon of ...

Structural and functional glycosphingolipidomics by glycoblotting with aminooxy-functionalized gold nanoparticle [PDF]
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) synthesized in Golgi apparatus by sequential transfer of sugar residues to a ceramide lipid anchor are ubiquitously distributing on vertebrate plasma membranes.
