The Mitochondrial Ca(2+) Uniporter: Structure, Function, and Pharmacology. [PDF]

, 2017
Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake is crucial for an array of cellular functions while an imbalance can elicit cell death. In this chapter, we briefly reviewed the various modes of mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake and our current understanding of mitochondrial Ca(2+)

A Cationic Supramolecule With Potent Antifungal Activity, Single‐Species Selectivity, and Strong Synergy With Echinocandins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a new membrane‐active antifungal design, Gua‐SMACS‐16, that exhibits high potency and single‐species selectivity for C. tropicalis while sparing other close species in the Candida genus. Moreover, when combining with caspofungin, a clinical antifungal drug inhibiting 1,3‐β‐glucan synthase, they exhibit ultra‐strong synergy across a panel ...

Membrane microdomains in hepatocytes: potential target areas for proteins involved in canalicular bile secretion

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The formation of hepatic bile requires that water be transported across liver epithelia. Rat hepatocytes express three aquaporins (AQPs): AQP8, AQP9, and AQP0. Recognizing that cholesterol and sphingolipids are thought to promote the assembly of proteins

Callose homeostasis at plasmodesmata: molecular regulators and developmental relevance [PDF]

, 2014
Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined channels that are located in the plant cell wall and that physically interconnect the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of adjacent cells.

Unveiling a New Link: Cholesterol Deficiency in Smith–Lemli–Opitz and Niemann–Pick C as a Driver of Ciliopathies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ciliopathies are a group of genetic disorders caused by defective function of either the primary cilia (a large number) or the motile cilia (a much smaller number). These have been defined as diseases with mutations in genes encoding individual ciliary or cilia‐associated proteins.

Partitioning into ER membrane microdomains impacts autophagic protein turnover during cellular aging

Scientific Reports
Eukaryotic membranes are compartmentalized into distinct micro- and nanodomains that rearrange dynamically in response to external and internal cues. This lateral heterogeneity of the lipid bilayer and associated clustering of distinct membrane proteins ...

Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Ceramide-enriched microdomains in planar membranes

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2010
Ceramide has a large effect on the properties of biological membranes, increasing lipid order and promoting lateral phase separation, and plays an important role in cell signaling. This review provides an overview of recent studies of the effects of direct ceramide incorporation and enzymatic ceramide generation on planar supported membranes, including
