Deciphering the mechanism of action of a large family of natural and synthetic cytotoxic lipids bioactivated by enantiospecific oxidation into protein-reactive species inspires the development of enzyme-specific prodrugs.

Myristoylation of a secreted protein, identified in a global myristoylation analysis of the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, is important for host cell invasion.

Cell-specific pathways regulate lipid transmitters and neuroinflammation in the brain.

Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate interacts with PfHsp70-1 and stabilizes the Plasmodium digestive vacuole under febrile temperatures.

Palmitate turnover is controlled by distinct enzyme families with different specificities.

Profiling the adipocyte secretome reveals LRG1 as a novel adipokine that promotes insulin sensitivity and modulates inflammation triggered by release of cytochrome c from dead/dying cells, describing a new pathway at the intersection of obesity and its systemic sequelae.
