Peptide Amphiphiles Hitchhike on Endogenous Biomolecules for Enhanced Cancer Imaging and Therapy
Weakly assembled peptide amphiphile nanostructures disassemble in circulation and reassemble with blood biomolecules, mainly lipoproteins. Binding to blood biomolecules prolongs blood circulation and improves accumulation in solid tumors. In the tumor microenvironment, peptide amphiphiles assemble with cholesterol‐rich domains of cell membranes ...

De novo fatty acid synthesis and elongation of fatty acids by subcellular fractions of lung
Fatty acid synthesis by subcellular fractions of rabbit lung was studied by measuring the incorporation of either radioactive acetyl coenzyme A or malonyl coenzyme A into long-chain fatty acids.

Effect of α-Bromo-palmitate on the Oxidation of Palmitic Acid by Rat Liver Cells
Abstract Rat liver cell suspensions oxidized [1-14C]palmitic acid and [1-14C]palmitoyl-l-carnitine efficiently to CO2. Oxidation of tracer amounts of palmitate was inhibited by α-bromo-palmitate (2 x 10-4 m). The oxidation of tracer amounts of palmitoyl-l-carnitine was not affected.

Deficiency of SCAMP5 Triggers Pancreatic β‐Cell Secretory Dysfunction and Apoptosis
This study demonstrates that hyperglycemia in diabetes activates ChREBP, which epigenetically represses SCAMP5 expression in pancreatic β‐cells. This SCAMP5 deficiency impairs insulin secretion by downregulating the calcium channel CaV1.2. Furthermore, reduced SCAMP5 triggers β‐cell apoptosis by stabilizing VDAC1 and enhancing its interaction with Bax,
