Cholesterol is a crucial lipid that maintains cell membrane structure, serves as a precursor for the synthesis of steroid hormones and bile acids, and plays an important role in cell signal transduction and membrane function regulation. Intracellular cholesterol levels are precisely controlled by multiple processes, including synthesis, uptake, transport, esterification, storage, and efflux. Dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism is closely associated with diseases such as atherosclerosis, fatty liver disease, metabolic syndrome, and various cancers.
The Cholesterol Metabolism Compound Library contains 558 compounds and focuses on cholesterol metabolism and homeostatic regulation. It provides an efficient tool for mechanistic studies of cholesterol metabolism and for drug discovery in metabolism‑related diseases.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane binding structures that are released from cells into the surrounding environment and play a crucial role in mediating and regulating intercellular communication related to physiological and pathological processes. EVs are lipid membrane vesicles composed of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. EVs can be divided into several types based on their source, such as extracellular vesicles, microcapsules, and apoptotic vesicles. The size range of exosomes is 30-150nm, which are endocrine in multi vesicular endosomes (MVEs); microvesicles (50-1000nm) are secreted directly through extracellular interactions, thereby releasing plasma membrane vesicles. In contrast, apoptotic bodies are usually larger, ranging in size from 1 to 5 μ m. This is generated during programmed cell death. EV plays a crucial role in transmitting information between cells and influencing the behavior and function of receptor cells.
MCE designs a unique collection of 707 small molecules related to extracellular vesicles (EVs). It is a good tool to be used for research on metabolize, cancer and other diseases.
