Cholesterol metabolism is altered in Rett syndrome: A study on plasma and primary cultured fibroblasts derived from patients [PDF]
, 2014 Rett (RTT) syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that affects almost exclusively females. Several detectable mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) are responsible for the onset of the disease.

Paramagnetic, Silicon Quantum Dots for Magnetic Resonance and Two-Photon Imaging of Macrophages [PDF]
, 2010 Quantum dots (QDs) are an attractive platform for building multimodality imaging probes, but the toxicity for typical cadmium QDs limits enthusiasm for their clinical use.

A library of infectious hepatitis C viruses with engineered mutations in the E2 gene reveals growth-adaptive mutations that modulate interactions with scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]
, 2016 While natural hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in highly diverse quasispecies of related viruses over time, mutations accumulate more slowly in tissue culture, in part because of the inefficiency of replication in cells.

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

Lack of a direct role for macrosialin in oxidized LDL metabolism
Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 Murine macrosialin (MS), a scavenger receptor family member, is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed predominantly in macrophage late endosomes. MS is also found on the cell surface where it is suggested, on the basis of ligand blotting,

Scavenger receptor-A (CD204): a two-edged sword in health and disease.
Critical Reviews in Immunology, 2014 Scavenger receptor A (SR-A), also known as the macrophage scavenger receptor and cluster of differentiation 204 (CD204), plays roles in lipid metabolism, atherogenesis, and a number of metabolic processes.

Identification of Scavenger Receptor Ligands
, 2011 Scavenger receptors (SRs) are structurally diverse but functionally related innate immune receptors involved in defence and clearance mechanisms. Their broad specificity relies on evolutionarily conserved pattern recognition domains which interact with a variety of microbial, apoptotic and modified self ligands.
