Implication of Ceramide Kinase/C1P in Cancer Development and Progression
(MDPI, 2022-01-04)
Cancer cells rewire their metabolic programs to favor biological processes that promote cell survival, proliferation, and dissemination. Among this relevant reprogramming, sphingolipid metabolism provides metabolites that ...
VLP-Based Vaccines as a Suitable Technology to Target Trypanosomatid Diseases
(MDPI, 2021-03-05)
Research on vaccines against trypanosomatids, a family of protozoa that cause neglected tropical diseases, such as Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and sleeping sickness, is a current need. Today, according to modern ...
Ceramide Metabolism and Parkinson’s Disease—Therapeutic Targets
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)
Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid involved in numerous cellular processes. In addition to being the precursor of complex sphingolipids, ceramides can act as second messengers, especially when they are generated at the ...
The Golgi as an Assembly Line to the Autophagosome
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Autophagy is traditionally depicted as a signaling cascade that culminates in the formation of an autophagosome that degrades cellular cargo. However, recent studies have identified myriad pathways and cellular organelles ...
Photoacoustic effect applied on model membranes and living cells: direct observation with multiphoton excitation microscopy and long-term viability analysis
(Nature, 2020-01-15)
The photoacoustic effect is generated when a variable light interacts with a strongly light-absorbing material. In water, it may produce hot bubbles and shock waves that could affect the integrity of nearby cellular ...
The Myth of The Annular Lipids
(MDPI, 2022-10-22)
In the early 1970s, the existence of a “lipid annulus” stably surrounding the individual intrinsic protein molecules was proposed by several authors. They referred to a number of lipid molecules in slow exchange with the ...
Virion Structure and In Vitro Genome Release Mechanism of Dicistrovirus Kashmir Bee Virus
(American Society For Microbiology, 2021-06)
Infections with Kashmir bee virus (KBV) are lethal for honeybees and have been associated with colony collapse disorder. KBV and closely related viruses contribute to the ongoing decline in the number of honeybee colonies ...
Quantification of Biomarker Functionality Predicts Patient Outcomes
(Springer Nature, 2021-05-11)
Implementation of a quantitative molecular imaging method (iFRET), which determines receptor–ligand interactions, has led to the finding that patients with a low extent of PD-1/PD-L1 interaction in metastatic NSCLC, and ...
Immunogenomics of Colorectal Cancer Response to Checkpoint Blockade: Analysis of the KEYNOTE 177 Trial and Validation Cohorts
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Colorectal cancer (CRC) shows variable response to immune checkpoint blockade, which can only partially be explained by high tumor mutational burden (TMB). We conducted an integrated study of the cancer ...
In Vitro Cellular Uptake Studies of Self-Assembled Fluorinated Nanoparticles Labelled with Antibodies
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
Nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with antibodies (Abs) on their surface are used in a wide range of bioapplications. Whereas the attachment of antibodies to single NPs to trigger the internalization in cells via ...
