Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are thought to compete in conventional superconductors,
although in principle it is possible for any metal to become a superconductor in its non-…

Background and Purpose Upon stimulation, neutrophils release their nuclear contents called
neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which contain unfolded chromatin and lysosomal …

Metformin is the first-line drug in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In addition to its
hypoglycemic effect, metformin has an anti-inflammatory function, but the precise mechanism …

Thousands of different molecular species of lipids are present within a single cell, being
involved in modulating the basic processes of life. The vast number of different lipid species can …

Objective— Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a fatal disease
that is distinct from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Although CTEPH is characterized …

Signaling events at membranes are often mediated by membrane lipid composition or
membrane physical properties. These membrane properties could act either by favoring the …

An efficient synthetic route to inherently chiral calix[4]arenes with an ABCD substitution pattern
at the wide rim in the cone conformation was developed for the first time. For the synthesis …

Lipid homeostasis is crucial in human health. Barth syndrome (BTHS), a life-threatening
disease typically diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and neutropenia, is caused by mutations in …

Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
is among the most challenging tasks for modern membrane biology. For studies by high …

Enzymatic control of lipid homeostasis in the cell is a vital element in the complex organization
of life. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an essential anionic phospholipid of cell membranes, …
