Lipid droplets in felid kidneys: prevalence and composition by lipidomics

Domestic cat kidneys hold more Oil Red O-stained lipid than dog kidneys, and their tubular droplets carry a less-polar band containing ether-linked lipids resembling monoalkyldiacylglycerols.

Contact-based kin discrimination is associated with specific surface lipids in the cannibalistic nematode Pristionchus pacificus

The paper shows surface lipid composition is essential for kin recognition in Pristionchus pacificus, with specific lipids involved in contact-based discrimination.

Molecular biointerface characterisation for an implanted medical device using cryogenic orbitrap secondary ion mass spectrometry (Cryo-OrbiSIMS)

This paper uses Cryo-OrbiSIMS to analyze metabolomics at the biointerface of implanted catheters, identifying early and late-stage biomolecular responses in mice.

β1 Integrin-FAK-Piezo1 signalling axis drives in-situ stiffening mediated ECM remodelling and invasion of 3D breast epithelium

Surface lipids influence developmental and species-specific chemical signalling in nematodes

The paper characterizes nematode surface lipids using 3D-OrbiSIMS, revealing their developmental changes, species-specificity, and role in predator-prey interactions.
