Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that play a central role in human physiology by
catalyzing a range of unique metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for human …

Plasmalogens are a class of membrane glycerophospholipids with unique properties. They
contain a vinyl-ether linked alkyl chain at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone and …

Human cells are able to sense and adapt to variations in oxygen levels. Historically, much
research in this field has focused on hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) signaling and reactive …

The emerging diverse roles of ether (phospho) lipids in nervous system development and
function in health and disease are currently attracting growing interest. Plasmalogens, a …

Squalene monooxygenase (SM) is a vital sterol synthesis enzyme across eukaryotic life. In
yeast, it is a therapeutic target for treating certain fungal infections, and in mammals it is a …

Ether lipids are glycerolipids further classified into alkyl‐ether and alkenyl‐ether (also
termed plasmalogens) lipids. The two ether lipid subclasses share the first steps of their …

Plasmalogens, mostly ethanolamine‐containing alkenyl ether phospholipids, are a major
subclass of glycerophospholipids. Plasmalogen synthesis is initiated in peroxisomes and …

After five waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks, it has been recognized
that a significant portion of the affected individuals developed long-term debilitating …

Coronaviruses have lipid envelopes required for their activity. The fact that coronavirus
infection provokes the formation of cubic membranes (CM)(denoted also as convoluted …

Background Lipids play a vital role in health and disease, but changes to their circulating
levels and the link with obesity remain poorly characterized in expecting mothers and their …
