Implications for oxidative stress and astrocytes following 26S proteasomal depletion in mouse forebrain neurones [PDF]
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive degeneration of selective neurones in the nervous system, but the underlying mechanisms involved in neuroprotection and neurodegeneration remain unclear.

Phospholipase A(2) in vascular disease.
Secretory phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) can be proatherogenic both in the circulation and in the arterial wall. In blood plasma, PLA(2) can modify the circulating lipoproteins and so induce formation of small dense LDL particles, which are associated with ...

Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis is an effective tool for the detection of novel intragenic PLA2G6 mutations: Implications for molecular diagnosis [PDF]
Phospholipase associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive neurological disorders caused by mutations in the PLA2G6 gene. Direct gene sequencing detects 85% mutations in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

Influence of Lipid Heterogeneity and Phase Behavior on Phospholipase A2 Action at the Single Molecule Level [PDF]
We monitored the action of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) on L- and D-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) Langmuir monolayers by mounting a Langmuir-trough on a wide-field fluorescence microscope with single molecule sensitivity.
