140th Edition-The Lipid Lowdown
The proatherogenic properties of the cholesterol 5,6-secosterols (atheronal-A and atheronal-B), recently discovered in atherosclerotic arteries, have been investigated in terms of their effects on monocyte/macrophage function. A fluorescent analogue of atheronal-B, when cultured in either aqueous buffer or in media containing fetal calf serum, is rapidly taken-up into cultured macrophage cells and accumulates at perinuclear sites...
Spotlight: MVL5/GMO Delivery System for siRNA/DNA
The therapeutic promise of gene therapy in treating and altering disease states has provided significant motivation in developing improved methods to deliver genes to cells [1,2]. Currently, two major classes of gene delivery vectors exist: viral and synthetic...

People do Amazing Things with Our Lipids! Researchers from the National Center for Global Health and Medicine (Tokyo, Japan) are studying the role of PAF signaling in neuropathic pain, a chronic pain condition resulting from injury of the peripheral or central nervous systems. PAF, as well as, ATP and lyophosphatidic acid are thought to be central mediators of neuropathic pain.
