Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid specific for mitochondrial membranes and crucial for many core tasks of this organelle. Its side chain configurations are tissue-specific, functionally important and generated via post-biosynthetic remodeling. However, this process lacks the necessary specificit...
The bacterial lipid membrane, consisting both of fatty acid (acyl) tails and polar head groups, responds to changing conditions through alteration of either the acyl tails and/or head groups. This plasticity is critical for cell survival as it allows maintenance of both the protective nature of t...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Atherosclerosis, characterized by dysfunction of lipid metabolism and chronic inflammation, is considered as a metabolic disorder as well as a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. However, metabolic signatures of atherosclerosis have not been well ex...
Human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) were transfected with lentivirus encoding either KIF11-targeting shRNA or a non-targeting control. KIF11-depleted and control cells were then subjected to lipid extraction followed by LC–MS/MS–based targeted analysis of ferroptosis-associated phosp...
Although clinical research has revealed microglia-related inflammatory and immune responses in bipolar disorder (BD) patient brains, it remains unclear how microglia contribute to the pathogenesis of BD. Here, we demonstrated that Serinc2 is associated with susceptibility to BD and showed a reduc...
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may prevent retinal vascular abnormalities observed in oxygen-induced retinopathy, a model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In the OmegaROP prospective cohort study, we showed that preterm infants who will develop ROP accumulate the n-6 PUFA arachidonic...
