ABCA1: the gatekeeper for eliminating excess tissue cholesterol

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
It is widely believed that HDL functions to transport cholesterol from peripheral cells to the liver by reverse cholesterol transport, a pathway that may protect against atherosclerosis by clearing excess cholesterol from arterial cells.

Multiplexed Bio‐detection on an Interferometric Optical Waveguide Assembly

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Multiplexed remote bio‐detection is demonstrated through an image conduit composed of 3012 individual cores and coated with interferometric layers. The proof of concept of biodetection is performed through the kinetic monitoring of two complementary DNA strands hybridization paving the way for applications in multiplex in situ biosensing, and ...

Atherosclerosis in aged mice over-expressing the reverse cholesterol transport genes

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
We determined whether over-expression of one of the three genes involved in reverse cholesterol transport, apolipoprotein (apo) AI, lecithin-cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) and cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), or of their combinations ...

Antibiotic–Polycationic Peptide Conjugation as an Effective Strategy to Overcome Daptomycin Resistance

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance necessitates the development of new antibiotics with “resistance‐breaking” properties. In this study, conjugation of polycationic peptides is proven to represent a versatile strategy for the fast and affordable reactivation of daptomycin.
