Regulation of the leading edge motility by PI (4,5)P2-dependent lipid microdomains [PDF]
The lipid second messenger PI(4,5)P2 modulates actin dynamics, and its local accumulation at plasmalemmal microdomains (rafts) might mediate regulation of protrusive motility.

Establishment of LC-MS methods for the analysis of palmitoylated surfactant proteins[S]
The surfactant proteins (SPs), SP-B and SP-C, are important components of pulmonary surfactant involved in the reduction of alveolar surface tension. Quantification of SP-B and SP-C in surfactant drugs is informative for their quality control and the ...

Selective inhibitors of a PAF biosynthetic enzyme lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 2[S]
Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a potent pro-inflammatory phospholipid mediator. In response to extracellular stimuli, PAF is rapidly biosynthesized by lyso-PAF acetyltransferase (lyso-PAFAT).

Lipid metabolism and signaling in cancer
Cancer cells frequently display specific alterations in their metabolic activity. Reprogramming of lipid metabolism is now a recognized hallmark of malignancy, and reactivation of fatty acids (FA) and cholesterol biosynthesis is frequently observed in ...

Environmental Optimization Enables Maintenance of Quiescent Hematopoietic Stem Cells Ex Vivo
Summary: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain lifelong hematopoiesis by remaining quiescent in the bone marrow niche. Recapitulation of a quiescent state in culture has not been achieved, as cells rapidly proliferate and differentiate in vitro. After

Recent Advances in Research on Molecular Mechanisms of Fungal Signaling
Biochemical signaling is one of the key mechanisms to coordinate a living organism in all aspects of its life. It is still enigmatic how exactly cells and organisms deal with environmental signals and irritations precisely because of the limited number ...
