Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

Functional analysis of sites within PCSK9 responsible for hypercholesterolemias⃞

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Mutations within proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) are associated with dominant forms of familial hypercholesterolemia. PCSK9 binds the LDL receptor (LDLR), and addition of PCSK9 to cells promotes degradation of LDLR.

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels are not associated with severity of liver disease and are inversely related to cholesterol in a cohort of thirty eight patients with liver cirrhosis

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2021
Background Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is of particular importance in cholesterol metabolism with high levels contributing to hypercholesterolemia. Cholesterol and sphingolipids are low in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Food‐grade proteins, lipids, and fibers as potential tools to ameliorate cardiovascular disorders: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality, necessitating effective preventive and adjunct therapeutic strategies beyond conventional pharmacological interventions. Although previous reviews have focused on individual nutrients or dietary patterns, this review provides a mechanism‐based, integrative perspective

PCSK9 facilitates melanoma pathogenesis via a network regulating tumor immunity

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2023
Background PCSK9 regulates cholesterol homeostasis and promotes tumorigenesis. However, the relevance of these two actions and the mechanisms underlying PCSK9’s oncogenic roles in melanoma and other cancers remain unclear.

PCSK9: Is it Fluoride for Cardiology?

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2014
![Figure][1] When I first came to Emory in the 1960s, we had a medical school and a dental school. Now there is just the medical school. What happened to the dental school? The Emory Dental School, along with several others across the country, closed because of a reduced demand for dentists.

Contrasting effects of intracellular and extracellular human PCSK9 on inflammation, lipid alteration and cell death

Communications Biology
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is one of the major regulators of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). Information on role and regulation of PCSK9 in lung is very limited.

Plasma PCSK9 preferentially reduces liver LDL receptors in mice*

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is a secreted protein that regulates the expression of LDL receptor (LDLR) protein. Gain-of-function mutations in PCSK9 cause hypercholesterolemia, and loss-of-function mutations result in lower ...

TRIM31–LOX‐1 Axis: A Novel Therapeutic Frontier in Atherosclerosis

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis, driven by a vicious cycle of lipid accumulation and chronic inflammation, underlies most cardiovascular diseases. Macrophages exacerbate this process by internalizing oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (oxLDL), forming foam cells, and releasing inflammatory mediators. A recent study published in Circulation identified the TRIM31–
