Lipids Open the Door. Microglial cells treated with unlipidated (top) or lipidated (bottom) ApoE (yellow) along with fluorescently tagged Aβ (green). Lipidated ApoE was more readily internalized and ...

In healthy brains, immune cells called microglia patrol for damage, clearing away debris and harmful proteins. But in the ...

The link between lipid metabolism and glaucoma pathophysiology could guide future research and treatment strategies.

Taurine treatment significantly decreased plaque areas in the carotid artery, reduced Masson’s Trichrome staining, and lowered the ratio of anti-α-SMA to anti-CD68 staining in ApoE −/− mice.

Taurine may decrease atherosclerotic plaque size and enhance vascular stability, as shown in studies on humans and mice. Previous research has suggested that taurine supplementation could help slow ...

Patrizia Agostinis (VIB-KU Leuven) has found that melanoma cell populations protect themselves from a form of cell death called ferroptosis by secreting the lipoprotein apolipoprotein E (ApoE).

A team of scientists has found that the presence of the APOE4 protein -- the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer ...

Cooler weather always brings a spike in visits from rodents. Mice, cute as they may be, chew through cords, gnaw into bags of food and leave droppings in cupboards and on counters and floors.

It's always a worry if you've spotted a mouse indoors or a rat in the backyard. And learning how to get rid of mice or how to get rid of rats can be a challenging and often expensive task at the ...

48 Two strains of mice (normal mice or mice predisposed to developing hypercholesterolaemia, the apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-KO) model) were fed a normal diet, or a high-fat diet. Interestingly, ...
