Modulation of endogenous plasmalogens by genetic ablation of lysoplasmalogenase (Tmem86b) in mice.
JOURNAL OF LIPID RESEARCH - 15 Apr 2025
Plasmalogens are a distinct subclass of glycerophospholipids that exhibit unique structural features, notably possessing a vinyl ether linkage at the sn1 position of the glycerol backbone. These specialised lipids play crucial roles in various biological functions. Although the biosynthetic pathway of plasmalogens has been well-characterised, their catabolism remains less studied. In this study...
Understanding the onset and remission of suicidal thoughts in Australian men: Findings from the Ten to Men study.
16 Apr 2025
While Australian studies explore suicidal thoughts' prevalence and correlates, little is known about their first onset in unaffected individuals or the predictors and rates of remission in the general population. The objective of the study is to determine the rates of first-onset suicidal thought and remission of suicidal thoughts among Australian males over a 9-year period and to identify pred...
Increased atherosclerosis in HIV-infected humanized mice is caused by a single viral protein, Nef.
THE JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES - 16 Apr 2025
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses HIV replication, reverses immunodeficiency, and reduces AIDS-related symptoms, but non-AIDS co-morbidities like cardiovascular diseases remain a major challenge for people living with HIV (PLWH). The pathogenic mechanisms driving these co-morbidities are poorly understood. We previously showed that the HIV protein Nef contributes to chronic inflammation i...
Endothelial -targeted CD39 is protective in a mouse model of global forebrain ischaemia.
JOURNAL OF NEUROINFLAMMATION - 21 Apr 2025
Global ischemic brain injury occurs after cardiac arrest or prolonged hypotensive episodes following surgery or trauma. It causes significant neurological deficits even after successful re-establishment of blood flow. It is the primary cause of death in 68% of inpatient and 23% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases, but there are currently no treatments. Endothelial activation and dysfunction...

AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL - 23 Apr 2025
Although coronary atherosclerosis is an important contributor to cardiovascular burden in adult cancer survivors, it remains unclear as to who is at risk. This systematic review sought to identify the incidence rate of coronary atherosclerosis in different cancer types and risk factors that contributed to the risk difference. A search of papers on the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis amon...
Review of strategies to improve adherence to lipid lowering therapy in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PREVENTIVE CARDIOLOGY - 24 Apr 2025
Poor adherence to lipid lowering therapy (LLT) is a major barrier in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) worldwide. The burden of CVD can be significantly reduced by LLT, particularly in populations with high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Despite established benefits from LLT, efforts to improve adherence have had varying degrees of success in primary prevention. Adherence is a multifact...
