Abstract The liver is a central organ controlling lipid and cholesterol metabolism and plays a key role in regulating lipoprotein profiles and cardiovascular disease risk. Males and females show clear differences in cholesterol handling and susceptibility to atherosclerosis, but the molecular basis for these sex-specific effects remains incompletely understood. Here we show that the X-linked histone demethylase 6 A (KDM6A) is essential for maintaining healthy cholesterol metabolism in the liver.

Abstract Nanoscale biological particles, such as lipoproteins (10-80 nm) or extracellular vesicles (30-200 nm), play pivotal roles in health and disease, including conditions like cardiovascular disorders and cancer. Their effective analysis is crucial for applications in diagnostics, quality control, and nanomedicine development.

Abstract Single particle profiler is a unique methodology to study nanoscale bioparticles such as liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, extracellular vesicles and lipoproteins in single particle and high throughput manner. The original version requires the single photon counting modules for data acquisition. Here, we present imaging-based SPP (iSPP) which can be performed by imaging a spot over time in common imaging mode with photomultiplier tubes.
