Researchers are developing a new generation of antiviral drugs that target the membranes of viruses instead of the surface proteins. These drugs, inspired by our immune system, show promise against ...
New insights into how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) curates and assembles its lipid envelope have been gleaned by RIKEN biologists. These findings into HIV biology could help to inform ...
However, the roles of SphK2 in the hepatic lipid metabolism of NAFLD have not been elucidated. Methods Wild-type (SphK2-Flox), hepatocyte-specific SphK2 knockout (SphK2-HKO) mice and SphK2 ...
