Caption The content of lipid droplets (LD, yellow dots in the panels at left) determines a stem cell’s potential to repopulate an injured muscle. The cell with many lipid droplets (LDhigh) had ...

A newly identified cartilage cell generates fat vacuoles and makes the surrounding tissues pliable. This helps keep the ear ...

in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets. More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they ...

The quest to find solutions for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders continues to be one of the most ...

The search for answers to Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders remains one of the most pressing goals in ...

Prostate cells are stained with Oil-Red O to detect lipid droplets. Our work shows that redistribution of lipids from prostate cancer microenvironment triggers inflammation and drives prostate ...

"We discovered that brain cells known as astrocytes are more vulnerable ... Lipids can be found in specialized fat storage compartments known as lipid droplets within astrocytes.

Results showed trehalose suppressed the hypertrophy of fat cells in both types of mice and increased lipid droplets in the intestinal epithelium: these were excreted in the mice’s faeces.
