Exome sequencing in multiple sclerosis families identifies 12 candidate genes and nominates biological pathways for the genesis of disease
(Public Library Science 15(6) : (2019) // Article ID e1008180, 2019-06-06)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by myelin loss and neuronal dysfunction. Although the majority of patients do not present familial aggregation, Mendelian forms ...
Interactome of the Autoimmune Risk Protein ANKRD55
(Frontiers Media, 2019-09-18)
The ankyrin repeat domain-55 (ANKRD55) gene contains intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with risk to contract multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorders. Risk alleles of ...
The triacylglycerol, hydroxytriolein, inhibits triple negative mammary breast cancer cell proliferation through a mechanism dependent on dihydroceramide and Akt
(Impact Journals, 2019-04-02)
The plasma membrane is an attractive target for new anticancer drugs, not
least because regulating its lipid structure can control multiple signaling pathways
involved in cancer cell proliferation, differentiation and ...
Mixing brain cerebrosides with brain ceramides, cholesterol and phospholipids
(Nature Publishing, 2019-09-16)
The properties of bilayers composed of pure brain cerebroside (bCrb) or of binary mixtures of bCrb with brain ceramide, cholesterol, egg phosphatidylcholine or brain sphingomyelin have been studied using a combination of ...
