The other-race effect (ORE), or the finding that same-race faces are better recognized than
other-race faces, is one of the best replicated phenomena in face recognition. The current …

For the past 5 years, investigators from many different laboratories have contributed to a
greatly increased understanding of two very important lipid-carrying proteins in plasma--apo B-…

All organisms use fatty acids (FAs) for energy substrates and as precursors for membrane
and signaling lipids. The most efficient way to transport and store FAs is in the form of …

The earliest recognizable atherosclerotic lesions are fatty streaks composed of lipid-laden
macrophages (foam cells). Circulating monocytes are the precursors of these foam cells, but …

Mutations in the nuclear envelope proteins lamins A and C cause a broad variety of human
diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and …

Previous studies have established that low density lipoprotein (LDL) incubated with endothelial
cells (EC) undergoes extensive oxidative modification in structure and that the modified …

Although the cross-race effect (CRE) is a well-established phenomenon, both perceptual-expertise
and social-categorization models have been proposed to explain the effect. The two …

Defects in the endosomal-lysosomal pathway have been implicated in a number of
neurodegenerative disorders [1]. A key step in the endocytic regulation of transmembrane proteins …

The triglycerides in chylomicrons are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase (LpL) along the
luminal surface of the capillaries. However, the endothelial cell molecule that facilitates …

Zmpste24 is an integral membrane metalloproteinase of the endoplasmic reticulum. Biochemical
studies of tissues from Zmpste24-deficient mice (Zmpste24 −/− ) have indicated a role …
