Sphingolipids in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
NeuroMolecular Medicine, 2010 Although the brain contains a high content of sphingolipids, we know relatively little about the roles that sphingolipids play in regulating neural functions. Once regarded only for their structural roles in maintaining the integrity of cellular and sub-cellular compartments, it is now apparent that many sphingolipid species are biologically active and

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The complexity of breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis lies in the capacity of tumour cells to interact efficiently with distant organs to promote colonisation, a process that involves the sophisticated coordination of inherent cellular plasticity and the remodelling of the distant microenvironment.

The role of sphingolipids in selected cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
, 2013 Bioactive sphingolipids are engaged with numerous cellular processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Sphingolipid metabolism in heart is regulated by physical exercise and PPARs.

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Sphingolipid trafficking — sorted out?
Trends in Cell Biology, 1992 Studies of intracellular membrane traffic have traditionally focused on the protein components of membranes, but what about lipids? Recent findings have drawn attention to the transport of one type of lipid, the sphingolipids. Their unique physical properties may allow them to aggregate into microdomains in membranes that concentrate sphingolipids into

Bridging maternal effects and epitranscriptomics: A novel perspective in developmental biology
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Maternal effects, encompassing both genetic (maternally expressed gene products) and non‐genetic (maternal state) influences, are powerful determinants of offspring phenotype, yet their RNA‐level mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. In parallel, epitranscriptomics, an emerging field centered on chemical modifications to RNA, has revealed ...

Sphingolipids in Major Depression
Neurosignals, 2015 Major depression is one of the most common and severe diseases affecting the world's population. However, the pathogenesis of the disease remains inadequately defined. Previously, a lack of monoaminergic neurotransmitters was the focus of pathophysiological concepts; however, recent concepts focus on a alteration of neurogenesis in the hippocampus ...
