This review first summarizes the complex pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and outlines the limitations of conventional therapies. It then explores innovative nanoparticle drug delivery system (NDDS) developments, detailing their precision targeting strategies, responsiveness to plaque‐specific stimuli, modulation of key pathological processes, and ...

Interaction of cholesterol with sphingosine
Molecular associations between sphingomyelin and cholesterol provide a molecular basis for the colocalization of these lipids in plasma membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) and for the inhibitory effect of sphingomyelin on the intestinal absorption of ...

Obesity was reported to cause kidney injury by excessive accumulation of sphingolipids such as sphingomyelin and ceramide. Sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2) is an important enzyme for hepatic sphingolipid homeostasis and its dysfunction is considered to ...

Ruminant meat is widely appreciated for its distinctive flavor. Lipids play a central role in influencing meat flavor, yet their genetic and biochemical basis remains largely unexplored. Here, a comprehensive lipid genetic map of sheep muscle is constructed and 20 candidate genes potentially modulating lipid levels are identified to provide a roadmap ...

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain
We developed a Drosophila model for prion disease, and flies were capable of expressing the hamster prion protein (HaPrP) under the control of the GAL4/UAS system. The model exhibited some characteristics of the disease in mammals and displayed alterations in protein, sphingolipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Preliminary applications have demonstrated

ABSTRACT Fatty acid analysis is required in a wide range of industries, and conversion to fatty acid methyl esters followed by gas chromatography is by far the most common method of analysis. However, despite widespread use, there is no consensus on which derivatization method should be used or how the methods compare.

Background: It is unknown how sphingolipids arrive at plasma. Results: Plasma ceramide and sphingomyelin are low in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP)-deficient humans and mice. MTP does not play a role in sphingolipid synthesis.
