Nanocarrier lipid composition modulates the impact of pulmonary surfactant protein B (SP-B) on cellular delivery of siRNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Two decades since the discovery of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, we are now witnessing the approval of the first RNAi-based treatments with small interfering RNA (siRNA) drugs. Nevertheless, the widespread use of siRNA is limited by various extra-

Interfacial water at synthetic and natural lipid bilayers probed by vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy

open access: yesБіофізичний вісник, 2020
Background: At lipid interfaces, water plays a crucial role in carrying biological processes, so that there is a huge interest in unravelling the behaviour of water close to membranes.

The anti-tumor drug 2-hydroxyoleic acid regulates the oncogenic potassium channel Kv10.1

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2023
Background 2-hydroxyoleic acid (2OHOA) is a synthetic fatty acid with antitumor properties that alters membrane composition and structure, which in turn influences the functioning of membrane proteins and cell signaling. In this study, we propose a novel

Role of lipid transfer proteins in loading CD1 antigen-presenting molecules

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2018
Research to connect lipids with immunology is growing, but details about the specific roles of lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) in antigen presentation remain unclear.

Phosphate limitation as crucial factor to enhance yeast lipid production from short‐chain fatty acids

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2023
Microbial lipids for chemical synthesis are commonly obtained from sugar‐based substrates which in most cases is not economically viable. As a low‐cost carbon source, short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that can be obtained from food wastes offer an ...

Nanoporous silica-based protocells at multiple scales for designs of life and nanomedicine. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Various protocell models have been constructed de novo with the bottom-up approach. Here we describe a silica-based protocell composed of a nanoporous amorphous silica core encapsulated within a lipid bilayer built by self-assembly that provides for ...

Aminosugar-based immunomodulator lipid A: synthetic approaches [PDF]

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
The immediate immune response to infection by Gram-negative bacteria depends on the structure of a lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin), a complex glycolipid constituting the outer leaflet of the bacterial outer membrane. Recognition of picomolar quantities of pathogenic LPS by the germ-line encoded Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) complex ...
