«One of the goals in this field has been to identify compounds that elicit a more biased or selective response from iNKT cells, and we were able to incorporate features in AH10 - 7 that did that,» says Howell, who has been studying the role of glycolipids in modulating the human immune system for more than 20 years.

I discovered that hopanoids interact with glycolipids in bacterial outer membranes to form a highly ordered bilayer in a manner analogous to the interaction of sterols with sphingolipids in eukaryotic plasma membranes (Saenz et al., 2015). (dresden-ipp.de)
Efforts to harness the therapeutic potential of human iNKT cells began 20 years ago with the discovery that natural and synthetic forms of glycolipid ligands known as alpha - galactosylceramides, or? (sciencedaily.com)
