Identification of a residue in hepatitis C virus E2 glycoprotein that determines scavenger receptor BI and CD81 receptor dependency and sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is dependent on at least three coreceptors: CD81, scavenger receptor BI (SR-BI), and claudin-1. The mechanism of how these molecules coordinate HCV entry is unknown.

Platelet quality deteriorates during storage due to protein and platelet adhesion to current bag materials. Here, polymer coatings are identified that reduce adhesion and translated them to mini‐storage bags. Platelet quality are not impacted, despite significantly reducing adhesion.

Phosphatidylinositol promotes cholesterol transport in vivo
To examine the role that lipoprotein charge plays in cholesterol metabolism in vivo, we characterized the effects of an intravenous injection of 40 μmol of an uncharged phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine, PC) or an anionic phospholipid ...

Estimating the level of carbamoylated plasma non-high-density lipoproteins using infrared spectroscopy [PDF]
Background: The increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality observed in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can be partly explained by the presence of carbamoylated lipoproteins. Lipid profiles can be determined with infrared spectroscopy. In this
