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 ...

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 platform makes it possible to take microscopic images of lipid droplets within cells without the use chemical dyes, which can alter the delicate molecules and compromise the results.

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

"We proposed that, during evolution, the emergence of myelin coincided with the loss of lipid droplets in axon-associated ...

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

UC Irvine researchers have identified lipocartilage, a unique fat-filled tissue found in ears, noses, and throats. Unlike ...
