New functions and (patho)physiological role of broadly represented in membrane ether phospholipids as substrates of 15-lipoxygenases have been established in health and several acute/chronic diseases:...

Diet influences macronutrient availability to cells, and although mechanisms of sensing dietary glucose and amino acids are well characterized, less is known about sensing lipids. We defined a nutrien...

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that store and supply lipids based on cellular needs. While mechanisms preventing oxidative damage to membrane phospholipids are established, the vulnerability of L...

Enzymatically oxygenated phospholipids (eoxPL) from lipoxygenases (LOX) or cyclooxygenase (COX) are pro-thrombotic. Their generation in arterial disease, and their modulation by cardiovascular therapies is unknown. Furthermore, the Lands cycle acyl-transferases that catalyze their formation are unidentified.

The activation of mTORC1 is intricately linked to its subcellular localization, with the Rag GTPases controlling its lysosomal recruitment in response to nutrient cues. Acharya and Demetriades uncover...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent cause of live

Complex genetic and dietary cues contribute to the development of obesity, but how these are integrated on a molecular level is incompletely understood. Here, we show that PPARγ supports hypertrophic ...

The PNPLA3 I148M variant is the major genetic risk factor for all stages of fatty liver disease, but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. W…

Porphyromonas gingivalis, like other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes (synonym Bacteroidota), synthesizes several classes of dihydroceramides and p…

Adipocytes have high levels of many components of the complement system. These components are involved in antimicrobial activities, but also have the potential to regulate the maintenance and turn-ove...
