“New Research: Clinical Samples Used in Cryo-EM Study of LDL Metabolism
Researchers at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute have used clinical samples in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to explore mechanisms of lipid metabolism. One of the lead authors, Dr. Altaira Dearborn, a staff scientist in Dr. Joseph Marcotrigiano’s lab at NIAID (NIH), is working to use “real-world” samples—applying cryo-EM single particle analysis to proteins directly isolated from human patients to uncover disease mechanisms at near-atomic resolution.
This study sheds new light on LDL (low-density lipoprotein) recognition and uptake. The findings not only deepen our understanding of cholesterol metabolism but also offer promising directions for therapeutic development in atherosclerosis and related cardiovascular diseases.
A great example of how structural biology and translational research can converge to impact human health.”
