Regulation of macrophage and preadipocyte proliferation and migration by C1P
(2022-03-25)
Chronic inflammatory diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world. Indeed, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3 out of 5 people die due to chronic inflammatory diseases such as stroke, chronic ...
Predictive Modeling and Structure Analysis of Genetic Variants in Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Implications for Diagnosis and Protein Interaction Studies
(Springer Nature, 2023-10)
Purpose of Review Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary condition characterized by elevated levels of low-
density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease if left ...
Novel functions of Calmodulin in Kv7.2 regulation and co-translational folding
(2023-07-17)
CaM binds to the calcium responsive domain (CRD) of voltage-gated potassium channel 7.2 (Kv7.2), transmitting calcium signaling to control its pore gating. In addition, CaM affects other functions, such as trafficking to ...
MLb-LDLr: A Machine Learning Model for Predicting the Pathogenicity of LDLr Missense Variants
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Untreated familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) leads to atherosclerosis and early cardiovascular disease. Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene constitute the major cause of FH, and the high number ...
Relationship between the dynamics of volatile aroma compounds and microbial succession during the ripening of raw ewe milk-derived Idiazabal cheese
(Elsevier, 2023)
Cheese microbiota contributes to various biochemical processes that lead to the formation of volatile compounds and the development of flavour during ripening. Nonetheless, the role of these microorganisms in volatile aroma ...
Regulation of cell growth, survival and migration by ceramide 1-phosphate - implications in lung cancer progression and inflammation
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P) is a bioactive sphingolipid that is implicated in the regulation of vital cellular functions and plays key roles in a number of inflammation-associated pathologies. C1P was first described as ...
Sphingomyelin: What is it good for?
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Sphingomyelin has been considered as a merely structural lipid for many years. However, this organelle-specific lipid has many other roles, including increasing membrane molecular order, acting as a source of ceramide in ...
Systematic review of the potential of MicroRNAs in the management of patients with follicular lymphoma
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and usually presents as an indolent disease. However, some patients present poor outcomes, and FL can transform into more aggressive lymphomas, such ...
The P. aeruginosa effector Tse5 forms membrane pores disrupting the membrane potential of intoxicated bacteria
(Nature, 2022)
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa injects effector proteins into neighbouring competitors and host cells, providing a fitness advantage that allows this opportunistic nosocomial pathogen to ...
