Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface [PDF]
The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. The structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics within the interfacial region are characterized in detail and compared with previous studies on the liquid-liquid phase transition (

Identification, regulation and function of a novel lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor [PDF]
Oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) leads to endothelial activation, dysfunction and injury. Recently, a novel lectin-like receptor for ox-LDL (LOX-1) has been identified, primarily in the endothelial cells, and it allows uptake of ox ...

Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The $T\times\mu$ phase diagram and the ground state configurations are analyzed thoroughly. Besides, we examine the particle density and specific heat behavior for different values of the chemical potential $\mu$ as functions of ...

ELISA measurement of LDL receptors
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed for measurement of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. A monospecific polyclonal antibody to LDL receptor purified from rat liver that reacted with rat, mouse, canine, and human LDL receptor was used.

An integrated mathematical model of cellular cholesterol biosynthesis and lipoprotein metabolism [PDF]
Cholesterol regulation is an important aspect of human health. In this work we bring together and extend two recent mathematical models describing cholesterol biosynthesis and lipoprotein endocytosis to create an integrated model of lipoprotein ...

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein inhibits hepatitis C virus cell entry in human hepatoma cells. [PDF]
Cell entry of hepatitis C virus, pseudoparticles (HCVpp) and cell culture grown virus (HCVcc), requires the interaction of viral glycoproteins with CD81 and other as yet unknown cellular factors.

The role of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors in managing cardiovascular risk
Hypercholesterolaemia and dyslipidaemia, marked by decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein and elevated levels of lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
