TLDR
Novel analytical approaches — in particular, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry — for systems-level analysis of lipids and their interacting partners (lipidomics) now make this field a promising area of biomedical research, with a variety of applications in drug and biomarker development.
Abstract
The crucial role of lipids in cell, tissue and organ physiology is demonstrated by a large number of genetic studies and by many human diseases that involve the disruption of lipid metabolic enzymes and pathways. Examples of such diseases include cancer, diabetes, as well as neurodegenerative and infectious diseases. So far, the explosion of information in the fields of genomics and proteomics has not been matched by a corresponding advancement of knowledge in the field of lipids, which is largely due to the complexity of lipids and the lack of powerful tools for their analysis. Novel analytical approaches--in particular, liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry--for systems-level analysis of lipids and their interacting partners (lipidomics) now make this field a promising area of biomedical research, with a variety of applications in drug and biomarker development.

Additives for improved analysis of lipids by mass spectrometry

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimized sample preparation strategy for MALDI-MS and imaging of lipids in biological samples is described, which is compatible with a relatively new surface sampling technique: liquid-extraction surface-an.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revealing potential lipid biomarkers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma using targeted quantitative lipidomics.

TL;DR: In this article, a targeted quantitative lipidomic study was conducted using 10 pairs of cancerous and adjacent normal tissues obtained from ccRCC patients, and accurate lipid quantification was performed according to a linear equation calculated using internal standards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid profiling suggests species specificity and minimal seasonal variation in Pacific Green and Hawksbill Turtle plasma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative ion intensity of 10 lipid classes (sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, free fatty acid, cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, pectinamide and triacyl-carnitine) was found to be consistent between species, across seasons.

Personalized Diet and Lifestyle Interventions on Lipids and Lipoproteins

TL;DR: The emerging “-omics” research, especially lipidomics, provides potentials to reveal novel and systematic insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic effects, diet/lifestyle influence, and gene–diet/l lifestyle interactions that hold promise to inform future personalized diet and lifestyle interventions based on genetic background.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving confidence in lipidomic annotations by incorporating empirical ion mobility regression analysis and chemical class prediction.

TL;DR: This approach uses class-specific regression models built from a standardized CCS repository (the Unified CCS Compendium) in a parallel scheme that combines a new annotation filtering approach with a machine learning class prediction strategy to increase confidence in molecular class annotations based on CCS values.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Functional rafts in cell membranes

Kai Simons, +1 more
- 05 Jun 1997 - 
TL;DR: A new aspect of cell membrane structure is presented, based on the dynamic clustering of sphingolipids and cholesterol to form rafts that move within the fluid bilayer that function as platforms for the attachment of proteins when membranes are moved around inside the cell and during signal transduction.

Toll-like receptor signalling

TL;DR: Rapid progress that has recently improved the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that mediate TLR signalling is reviewed.

Defective LPS Signaling in C3H/HeJ and C57BL/10ScCr Mice: Mutations in Tlr4 Gene

TL;DR: The mammalian Tlr4 protein has been adapted primarily to subserve the recognition of LPS and presumably transduces the LPS signal across the plasma membrane.
