During the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in our understanding of the roles of
intracellular lipid droplets (LDs). New genetic, biochemical and imaging technologies have …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous cellular organelles for lipid storage which are composed
of a neutral lipid core bounded by a protein decorated phospholipid monolayer. Although …

Lipids are essential building blocks synthesized by complex molecular pathways and
deposited as lipid droplets (LDs) in cells. LDs are evolutionary conserved organelles found …

Among organelles, lipid droplets (LDs) uniquely constitute a hydrophobic phase in the
aqueous environment of the cytosol. Their hydrophobic core of neutral lipids stores …

Eukaryotic cells store excess fatty acids as neutral lipids, predominantly triacylglycerols and
sterol esters, in organelles termed lipid droplets (LDs) that bulge out from the endoplasmic …

Lipid droplets (LDs) were perceived as static storage deposits, which passively participate in
the energy homeostasis of both cells and entire organisms. However, this view has changed …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that compartmentalize nonbilayer-forming lipids in the
aqueous cytoplasm of cells. They are ubiquitous in most organisms, including in animals …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are independent organelles that are composed of a lipid ester core and
a surface phospholipid monolayer. Recent studies have revealed many new proteins …

The lipid droplet (LD) is a phylogenetically conserved organelle. In eukaryotes, it is born
from the endoplasmic reticulum, but unlike its parent organelle, LDs are the only known …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous dynamic organelles that store and supply lipids in all
eukaryotic and some prokaryotic cells for energy metabolism, membrane synthesis, and …
