Cheen Fei Chin,Liang Gao,Bryan C. Tan,Bernice H. Wong,Geok-Lin Chua,Yen Ching Lim,Markus R. Wenk,Miao Shan Lim,Wei Qiang Leow,G. B. Goh,F. Torta,David L. Silver +11 more
TL;DR: In this article , the lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) transporter Mfsd2a was identified as critical for maintaining hepatic phospholipid pools.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hannah Ee Juen Yong,Oliver C. Watkins,Tania Ken Lin Mah,Victoria K B Cracknell-Hazra,Reshma Appukuttan Pillai,Preben Selvam,Mohammad Omedul Islam,N. Sharma,Amaury Cazenave-Gassiot,Anne K. Bendt,Markus R. Wenk,Keith M. Godfrey,Rohan M. Lewis,Shiao-Yng Chan +13 more
TL;DR: In this article , the placenta, containing maternally-inherited mitochondria, shows an age-related CPT decline that lowers placental acylcarnitine synthesis, increasing vulnerability to pregnancy complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailored Polymer-Based Selective Extraction of Lipid Mediators from Biological Samples.

TL;DR: In this article, a molecularly imprinted (MIP) and non-imprinted (NIP) polymeric sorbents were used for the extraction of lipid mediators from plasma and tissue samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Normalization Approaches for Quantitative Analysis of Bile Acids in Human Feces
Hans Frieder Schött,Esther W. L. Chua,Sartaj Ahmad Mir,Bo Burla,Anne K. Bendt,Markus R. Wenk +5 more
TL;DR: The data show that bile acid concentrations normalized by the three different approaches are substantially different for each individual sample, which will provide the basis for the selection of a suitable normalization approach for the quantitative analysis of bile acids in feces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid bilayer composition as a determinant of cancer cell sensitivity to tumoricidal protein‐lipid complexes
James Ho,Sartaj Ahmad Mir,Michele Cavalera,Parisa Esmaeili,Tuan Hiep Tran,Zandra Chew Yann,Thi Hien Tran,Arunima Chaudhuri,Anne K. Bendt,Markus R. Wenk,Catharina Svanborg +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the membrane lipid composition is functionally important and that specific unsaturated membrane lipids may serve as “recognition motifs” for broad‐spectrum tumoricidal molecules such as alpha1‐oleate.
