The Binding of Aβ42 Peptide Monomers to Sphingomyelin/Cholesterol/Ganglioside Bilayers Assayed by Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation
(MDPI, 2020-02-29)
The binding of Aβ42 peptide monomers to sphingomyelin/cholesterol (1:1 mol ratio) bilayers containing 5 mol% gangliosides (either GM1, or GT1b, or a mixture of brain gangliosides) has been assayed by density gradient ...
Membrane lipid modifications and therapeutic effects mediated by hydroxydocosahexaenoic acid on Alzheimer's disease
(Elsevier, 2013-12-27)
[EN] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative pathology with relevant unmet therapeutic needs. Both natural aging and AD have been associated with a significant decline in the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ...
Changes in Membrane Organization upon Spontaneous Insertion of 2‑Hydroxylated Unsaturated Fatty Acids in the Lipid Bilayer
(American Chemical Society, 2014-02-03)
Recent research regarding 2-hydroxylated fatty acids (2OHFAs) showed clear evidence of their benefits in the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Monolayer ...
Pb(II) Induces Scramblase Activation and Ceramide-Domain Generation in Red Blood Cells
(Nature Publishing, 2018-05-10)
The mechanisms of Pb(II) toxicity have been studied in human red blood cells using confocal microscopy, immunolabeling, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and atomic force microscopy. The process follows a sequence of ...
