Markus Gregorio Barbosa: Hepatic VPS35 and Cholesterol Homeostasis
Markus Gregorio Barbosa, Former PhD Candidate at UMCG, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in Molecular Metabolism, adding:
”Happy to share that our latest study is now published in Molecular Metabolism
Our findings reveal a novel role for hepatic VPS35 in cholesterol homeostasis, linking impaired lipoprotein uptake and lysosomal cholesterol metabolism to metabolic liver disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
A great collaborative effort with Cristy Verzijl, Dyonne V., Bart van de Sluis, all the co-authors, and our collaborators at EndoConnect, Laboratory of Pediatrics, Beatrix Children’s Hospital UMCG NL and UMCG research. Thank you all for your contributions.”
