Thin-layer chromatography and surface pressure-area isotherms of commercial bovine cardiolipins showed that the samples contained contaminants. They were purified by TLC and their purity was checked by chromatography and by their monolayer properties. The molecular area of cardiolipin and its purification yield depend upon the fatty acid composition, particularly the degree of unsaturation.

A multifactorial association study detected a probable causal connection between the prevalence of in the gut microbiome and the incidence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in the human host. A bioassay-guided fractionation approach identified bacterially produced metabolites that induced pro-inflammatory immune responses. The metabolites are unusual phospholipids that resemble conventional cardiolipins, in which diethanolamine (DEA) replaces the central glycerol.

To combat the permanent exposure to potential pathogens every organism relies on an immune system. Important factors in innate immunity are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are structurally highly diverse. Some AMPs are known to belong to the saposin-like proteins (SAPLIPs), a group of polypeptides with a broad functional spectrum.

The carnitine/acylcarnitine carrier (CAC) is a crucial protein for cellular energy metabolism, facilitating the exchange of acylcarnitines and free carnitine across the mitochondrial membrane, thereby enabling fatty acid β-oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Although CAC has not been crystallised, structural insights are derived from the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) structures in both cytosolic and matrix conformations. These structures underpin a single binding centre-gated pore mechanism, a common feature among mitochondrial carrier (MC) family members.

Unlabelled: are part of the human skin microbiota and are opportunistic microorganisms that become pathogenic in immunodeficient states. These lipophilic bacteria willingly inhabit areas of the skin where sebaceous glands are abundant; hence, there is a need to thoroughly understand their metabolism. Lipids are no longer considered only structural elements but also serve as signaling molecules and may have antigenic properties.

A 50-year-old man diagnosed with anti-contactin 1 (CNTN1) antibody-associated chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) was referred to our department for the evaluation of proteinuria. A kidney biopsy revealed membranous nephropathy (MN). Immunohistochemistry for CNTN1 revealed positive granular staining along the glomerular basement membrane, confirming anti-CNTN1 antibody-associated MN.
