Cells release extracellular vesicles (EVs) in their environment and cellular lipids play an important role in their formation, secretion and uptake. Besides, there is also evidence that EV transferred lipids impact on recipient's cell signaling. Cellular senescence is characterized by
Allergic diseases are hypersensitivity disorders that are associated with the generation of specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to environmental allergens. Interleukin (IL)-4, which is primarily produced by the CD4(+) T cells, is an important stimulus for the switching of
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a postnatal neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects girls. Mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene account for approximately 95 % of all RTT cases. To model RTT in vitro, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are non-parenchymal liver cells that characteristically contain multiple retinoid (vitamin A)-containing lipid droplets. In this study, we addressed the metabolic fate of non-retinoid lipids originating from lipid droplet loss during HSCs activation. UPLC/MS/MS and qRT-PCR were

The specific activity of acid ceramidase (N-acylsphingosine deacylase, EC 3.5.1.23) was measured at pH4.5 in normal fibroblasts and in fibroblasts from patients with Farber disease and obligate heterozygotes. Greater activity was found when the synthetically made ceramide substrates contained shorter-chain
