Foam cell formation containing lipid droplets enriched with free cholesterol by hyperlipidemic serum

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
A monoclonal antibody, ASH1a/256C (256C), which binds to atherosclerotic lesions in Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic rabbit (WHHL) aorta in vivo, recognizes complex structures of phosphatidylcholine mixed with neutral lipids.

Engineering of Glioblastoma‐Derived Biomimetic Vesicles and Their Structural and Molecular Features

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biomimetic nanosystems and vesicles have arisen as a novel approach to design vesicular transport systems with diverse therapeutic potential. The ‘biomimetic’ strategy involves the integration of cell membrane components into lipid bilayers, conferring them with biological properties originating from the cell of origin. Until now, most studies

Anti-inflammatory Effects of Phosphatidylcholine [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
We recently showed that mucus from patients with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory disorder of the colon, is characterized by a low level of phosphatidylcholine (PC) while clinical studies reveal that therapeutic addition of PC using slow release preparations is beneficial. The positive role of PC in this disease is still elusive.

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Structural elements that govern Sec14-like PITP sensitivities to potent small molecule inhibitors[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2016
Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins (PITPs) play important biological functions in integrating multiple aspects of intracellular lipid metabolism with phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate signaling.

Viscosity of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin)

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 1966
AbstractThe viscosities of egg lecithin dispersed in water have been measured by means of a Couette viscometer. The more concentrated dispersions are thixotropic, but below 1·8% w/w of lecithin the sols become Newtonian. From the extrapolated ratio of specific viscosity to volume fraction, the dispersed particles are considered to be of an elongated ...

Cell Cycle Control of Nuclear Metabolism Couples Phosphatidylinositol Signaling to Histone Methylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nuclear metabolism oscillates during cell cycle progression. Quantitative chromatome proteomics and imaging reveal phase‐specific dynamics of PIP5K1A and nuclear PIP2, linking phosphatidylinositol metabolism to histone methylation. This work identifies nuclear lipid metabolism as a previously unrecognized regulatory axis coordinating chromatin ...
