Current trends in oxysterol research [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2016 In this short review we provide a synopsis of recent developments in oxysterol research highlighting topics of current interest to the community. These include the involvement of oxysterols in neuronal development and survival, their participation in the immune system, particularly with respect to bacterial and viral infection and to Th17-cell ...

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.In normal pregnancy, PEVs help maintain maternal–fetal immune tolerance while enabling controlled immune activation, promote endothelial migration, and support trophoblast invasion and syncytialization, strengthening antimicrobial defense. In pregnancy‐related disorders, dysregulated PEV signaling may drive endothelial dysfunction and hypertension, BBB

The nonvesicular sterol transporter Aster-C plays a minor role in whole body cholesterol balance
Frontiers in PhysiologyIntroduction:The Aster-C protein (encoded by the Gramd1c gene) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein that has been reported to transport cholesterol from the plasma membrane to the ER.

Oxysterols and Their Cellular Effectors
Biomolecules, 2012 Oxysterols are oxidized 27-carbon cholesterol derivatives or by-products of cholesterol biosynthesis, with a spectrum of biologic activities. Several oxysterols have cytotoxic and pro-apoptotic activities, the ability to interfere with the lateral domain

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.

Epigenetic regulation of oxysterol formation [PDF]
Biochimie, 2013 Oxysterols are oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol that may be formed by either enzymatic or non-enzymatic mechanisms. Expression of the genes responsible for oxysterol synthesis (GROS) is known to be restricted across different tissues and cell types.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
