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 ...

Once thought to be little more than blobs of fat inside eukaryotic cells, lipid droplets may in fact provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens, according to evidence published today ...

known as nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs), accumulate in the nucleus of cells as we age. Unlike regular lipid droplets, which store energy in the cytoplasm, these nuclear droplets may weaken the ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of tissue, a soft and flexible ‘fatty cartilage’ that could revolutionize the ...

The team first examined human fetal cartilage at gestational week 20 to 21 and observed numerous lipid vacuoles in the ear, nose, thyroid, and epiglottal cartilage tissue. They also noted fat droplets ...

The quest to find solutions for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders continues to be one of the most urgent priorities in brain research. According to Maciej J. Stawikowski, Ph.D.

A global team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery of a new skeletal tissue known as "lipocartilage," offering ...
