Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

Prmt5AKO downregulates genes related to fatty acid transport and triacylglycerol synthesis, while upregulating genes involved in glucose transport and cholesterol biogenesis. These changes cause alternation in lipid composition and metabolic phenotypes of Prmt5AKO mice. Abstract The adipose tissue (AT) is a main regulator of systemic energy homeostasis,

Sterol-binding proteins in late endosomes : Regulation of endosome motility and lipid metabolism [PDF]
Despite its bad reputation in the mass media, cholesterol is an indispensable constituent of cellular membranes and vertebrate life. It is, however, also potentially lethal as it may accumulate in the arterial intima causing atherosclerosis or elsewhere ...

Mboat7 down-regulation by hyper-insulinemia induces fat accumulation in hepatocytes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Naturally occurring variation in Membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7), encoding for an enzyme involved in phosphatidylinositol acyl-chain remodelling, has been associated with fatty liver and hepatic disorders.
