Apolipoprotein AI (ApoA-I), the major protein component of high-density lipoproteins (HDL)
is a multifunctional protein, involved in cholesterol traffic and inflammatory and immune …

In this chapter, we review how HDL is generated, remodeled, and catabolized in plasma. We
describe key features of the proteins that participate in these processes, emphasizing how …

The mechanisms of disease pathogenesis in leptospirosis are poorly defined. Recent

In the research field of extracellular vesicles (EVs), the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS)
depleted of EVs for in vitro studies is advocated to eliminate the confounding effects of …

Background Our group has developed a new process for isolating and identifying novel
cationic antimicrobial peptides from small amounts of biological samples. Previously, we …

Alligators are crocodilians and among few species that endured the Cretaceous–Paleogene
extinction event. With long life spans, low metabolic rates, unusual immunological …
