Composition of fat in different types of liposarcomas in comparison with lipomas.

Published: July 1989

Different types of liposarcomas, and for comparison, lipomas were investigated for their lipid composition. Triglycerides were the main components of lipomas and lipoma-like liposarcomas. Myxoid liposarcomas had a high water content and contained considerable amounts of free cholesterol and phospholipids. One pleomorphic liposarcoma resembled a myxoid liposarcoma in its lipid composition and water content. In 4 liposarcomas of mixed type the lipid composition resembled the main subtype. A glycerol ether-like fraction was found in all lipoma-like (well differentiated) liposarcomas, in one myxoid type but not in the other types.

The outer membrane is the defining structure of Gram-negative bacteria. We previously demonstrated that it is a major load-bearing component of the cell envelope and is therefore critical to the mechanical robustness of the bacterial cell. Here, to determine the key molecules and moieties within the outer membrane that underlie its contribution to cell envelope mechanics, we measured cell-envelope stiffness across several sets of mutants with altered outer-membrane sugar content, protein content, and electric charge.

Background: Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-a nematode of rodents-is commonly used as a model to study the immunobiology of parasitic nematodes. It is a member of the Strongylida-a large order of socioeconomically important parasitic nematodes of animals. Lipids are known to play essential roles in nematode biology, influencing cellular membranes, energy storage and/or signalling.

This study investigated the effects of non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment on the growth, chemical composition, and biological activity of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L'Herit) leaves. NTAP was applied at a frequency of 13.56 MHz, exposure time of 15 s, discharge temperature of 25 °C, and power levels (T1 = 50, T2 = 80, and T3 = 120 W).

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are functional lipid-bound nanoparticles trafficked between cells and found in every biofluid. It is widely claimed that EVs can be secreted by every cell, but the quantity and composition of these EVs can differ greatly among cell types and tissues. Defining this heterogeneity has broad implications for EV-based communication in health and disease.
