DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2517469122

Abstract: Bridge-like lipid transfer proteins (BLTPs) are established to function in phospholipid transport between bilayers at organelle-organelle contact sites. However, the BLTP ATG2A also associates with lipid droplets in cells, which present a unique phospholipid monolayer… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Hyperlipidaemia, characterised by elevated levels of lipids, particularly LDL-C, is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. While synthetic inhibitors of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) have shown potential in lowering LDL-C, they… read more here.
