The microbiome in human skin aging

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Lipidation of a nuclear localization sequence enhances broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity: synthesis, characterization, and in silico analysis

open access: yesArtificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology
Lipidation enhances the antimicrobial potential of cationic peptides by increasing amphiphilicity. The nuclear localization signal peptide PKKKRKV, although cell-penetrating, has weak intrinsic antimicrobial activity.

Relation of the size and intracellular sorting of apoB to the formation of VLDL 1 and VLDL 2

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2005
In this study, we tested the hypothesis that two separate pathways, the two-step process and an apolipoprotein B (apoB) size-dependent lipidation process, give rise to different lipoproteins.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Lipid Sorting: Lipids Do It on Their Own [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2005
How are lipid molecules sorted between organelles in eukaryotic cells? A recent paper shows that the work needed to bend a membrane and form a vesicle is sufficient to sort lipid molecules.

Lipoprotein Signal Peptide as Adjuvants: Leveraging Lipobox-Driven TLR2 Activation in Modern Vaccine Design

open access: yesVaccines
Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) signaling is a pivotal component of immune system activation, and it is closely linked to the lipidation of bacterial proteins.

Recombinant Expression and Stapling of a Novel Long-Acting GLP-1R Peptide Agonist

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Owing to their pleiotropic metabolic benefits, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists have been successfully utilized for treating metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Lipids and lipid domains of the yeast vacuole

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2018
The membrane raft has been a focus of intensive research for the past two decades. Liquid-ordered domains form in artificial liposomes containing sterol and saturated lipids, but their presence in living cell membranes has been controversial. The yeast vacuole is exceptional in that micron-sized raft-like domains form in the stationary phase and under ...

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
