Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 6, Page 1179-1191, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Hepatic mRNA levels for the LDL receptor and HMG-CoA reductase show coordinate regulation in vivo.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1992
A sensitive solution hybridization assay using autologous cRNA probes was developed with the aim to study the simultaneous regulation of hepatic mRNA levels, on a quantitative basis, for the LDL receptor (LDLr), HMG-CoA reductase, and cholesterol 7 alpha-

Fenofibrate potentiates the therapeutic efficacy of EZH2 inhibitors on melanoma via TRIM21‐ and OTUD4‐mediated EZH2 ubiquitination

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 11, Page 2675-2694, June 2026.
Background and Purpose EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homologue 2) inhibitors are an emerging class of drugs that target epigenetic regulation. However, their efficacy in solid tumours has been limited, partly due to drug‐induced upregulation of fatty acid synthesis.
