Lysosphingolipid Quantitation in Plasma and Dried-Blood Spots Using Targeted High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

Background: Sphingolipidoses are rare inherited metabolic diseases belonging to lysosomal diseases. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust method to accelerate the diagnosis of these sphingolipidoses using dried blood spots and plasma.

Encapsulation of Microalgae Extract in Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) and Evaluation of Their Sunscreen, Wound Healing, and Skin Hydration Properties.

Traditional sunscreens have relied on synthetic compounds to protect against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, there is increasing interest in utilizing the natural photoprotective properties of microalgae extracts. This approach does not only aim to enhance the stability and efficacy of sun protection formulae but also seeks to reduce the reliance on synthetic sunscreens.

New Esters of Ferrediol and Sideritriol in subsp. : Characterization and Antiproliferative Activity.

17-Isovalerate esters of ferrediol and sideritriol (compounds and ) and 17-(2-methylbutyrate) ferrediol (compound ), which have not been earlier described, were isolated along with five known -15-kaurene diterpenes (siderol, sideridiol, sideroxol, eubotriol, and -candicandiol), one -beyerene (flavovirol), and one phytosterol (β-sitosterol) from the aerial parts of subsp. (Boiss. & Heldr.

Innovative tree-based method for sampling molecular conformations: exploring the ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 1 (ABCD1) transporter as a case study.

We introduce a novel tree-based method for visualizing molecular conformation sampling. Our method offers enhanced precision in highlighting conformational differences and facilitates the observation of local minimas within proteins fold space. The projection of empirical laboratory data on the tree allows us to create a link between protein conformations and disease relevant data.
