Toxic mechanisms of amyloid oligomers and therapeutic strategies
Abstract Amyloid oligomers are increasingly recognized as the major toxic contributors across protein‐misfolding disorders. In this review, we cover mechanistic evidence showing how these transient and structurally heterogeneous oligomers disrupt cellular homeostasis by: (i) permeabilizing lipid membranes and forming ion‐conducting pores; (ii ...

Pravastatin Corrects Endothelial Dysfunction in Ex Vivo Uterine Radial Arteries in Preeclampsia
ABSTRACT Aim Endothelium‐dependent relaxation in isolated uterine radial arteries from normotensive (NT) and preeclamptic (PE) pregnancies, and the acute effects of pravastatin in the latter vessels were assessed. Pravastatin is hypothesized to alleviate endothelial dysfunction in PE via modulating aspects of NO and endothelium‐derived ...

Targeting Cellular Lipid Rafts for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Illuminating lipid rafts within intact cells using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). Targeting lipid rafts with the protein ostreolysin A allows the selective delivery of DNP‐compatible radicals, generating hyperpolarization of nuclear spins in the lipid raft. Lipid rafts serve as important platforms for membrane and signaling proteins.

Laurdan: Clarifying Photophysics and Advancing the Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles
Biophysical properties of extracellular vesicles (EVs) reflect their composition and membrane organization. We introduce a novel approach using time‐resolved emission spectra (TRES) phasor analysis of the polarity‐sensitive probe Laurdan to characterize membranes with complex compositions.

Structural and Functional Characterization of EXPO‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Plants
In this study, 3D electron tomography (ET), cryo‐ET, and immunogold transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are employed to characterize plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) under physiological conditions. EVs are classified into three distinct categories according to their size, content, and molecular‐marker profiles. Furthermore, Exo70E2‐positive medium
