Lipid bilayer composition influences small multidrug transporters [PDF]
, 2008 Background: Membrane proteins are influenced by their surrounding lipids. We investigate the effect of bilayer composition on the membrane transport activity of two members of the small multidrug resistance family; the Escherichia coli transporter, EmrE

, 2003 From chapter introduction: Students entering the field of fish nutrition might be forgiven for forming two impressions. First, is the impression that because publications on lipids often dominate research journals and conference proceedings on fish nutrition, lipids are the most important nutrients for fish. They are not.

A novel technique of contrast-enhanced optical coherence tomography imaging in evaluation of clearance of lipids in human tears [PDF]
, 2014 Purpose: The aim of this work was to gather preliminary data in different conditions of healthy eyes, aqueous tear deficient dry eyes, obstructive meibomian gland disease (MGD) and non-obvious obstructive MGD (NOMGD) individuals, using a new, contrast ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Protein induced lipid demixing in homogeneous membranes [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Specific lipid environments are necessary for the establishment of protein signalling platforms in membranes, yet their origin has been highly debated. We present a continuum, exactly solvable model of protein induced local demixing of lipid membranes. The coupling between a local composition and a local thickness of the membrane induces lipid domains ...

Lateral phase separation in mixtures of lipids and cholesterol systems [PDF]
Europhys. Lett. 67, 321 (2004), 2004 In an effort to understand ``rafts'' in biological membranes, we propose phenomenological models for saturated and unsaturated lipid mixtures, and lipid-cholesterol mixtures. We consider simple couplings between the local composition and internal membrane structure, and their influence on transitions between liquid and ``gel'' membrane phases. Assuming

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2018 Metabolic disease: a red flag for diabetes risk Tiny RNA molecules circulating in the blood could give early warning of type 2 diabetes risk. MicroRNAs help regulate the expression of other genes, and recent research has linked irregularities in these ...
