Storage of non-polar lipids in ubiquitous eukaryotic organelles, lipid droplets (LDs), prevents
the toxic consequences of unesterified fatty acids and provides a lipid reservoir that can be …

Plants produce a large range of structurally varied low molecular weight secondary
metabolites, which evaporate, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Several of …

Autophagy is a major catabolic process responsible for the delivery of proteins and
organelles to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation. Malfunction of this pathway has been …

Cells store lipids in the form of triglyceride (TG) and sterol ester (SE) in lipid droplets (LDs).
Distinct pools of LDs exist, but a pervasive question is how proteins localize to and convey …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are evolutionarily conserved organelles that play important roles in
cellular metabolism. Each LD is enclosed by a monolayer of phospholipids, distinct from …

Functional heterogeneity within the lipid droplet (LD) pool of a single cell has been
observed, yet the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here, we report on …

The nematode-trapping fungi are ideal agents for controlling pathogenic nematodes.
Arthrobotrys oligospora is a representative species of the same, producing traps for …

Exposing cells to folding stress causes a subset of their proteins to misfold and accumulate
in inclusion bodies (IBs). IB formation and clearance are both active processes, but little is …

Storage and consumption of neutral lipids in lipid droplets (LDs) are essential for energy
homeostasis and tightly coupled to cellular metabolism. However, how metabolic cues are …

Both the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lipid droplets (LDs) are key players in lipid
handling. In addition to this functional connection, the two organelles are also tightly linked …
