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 ...

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 deeper understanding of these processes could lead to treatments designed to preserve cell health and delay age-related diseases. In summary, by presenting nuclear lipid droplets as potential ...

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.

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 ...

One of the strategies, discovered in 2015 by the Bellen team, consists of neurons exporting these toxic peroxidated lipids to ...

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

The following is a summary of “Effect of afzelin on inflammation and lipogenesis in particulate matter-stimulated C.
