Advances in mass spectrometry of lipids for the investigation of Niemann-pick type C disease.

Lipids in health and disease
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a devastating, fatal, neurodegenerative disease and a form of lysosomal storage disorder. It is caused by mutations in either NPC1 or NPC2 genes, leading to the accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in the ...

Decoding the blueprint of receptor binding by filoviruses through large-scale binding assays and machine learning.

Cell host & microbe
Evidence suggests that bats are important hosts of filoviruses, yet the specific species involved remain largely unidentified. Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) is an essential entry receptor, with amino acid variations influencing viral susceptibility and spec...
