Lipid droplets are dynamic organelles that store neutral lipids during times of energy excess
and serve as an energy reservoir during deprivation. Many prevalent metabolic diseases …

Microalgae have the potential to become microbial cell factories for lipid production. Their
ability to convert sunlight and CO 2 into valuable lipid compounds has attracted interest from …

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 …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are found in most cells, where they play central roles in energy and
membrane lipid metabolism. The de novo biogenesis of LDs is a fascinating, yet poorly …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are found in all cells and play critical roles in lipid metabolism. De novo
LD biogenesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) but is not well understood. We …

Cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) of neutral lipids (triacylglycerols [TAGs], sterylesters, etc.)
are reserves of high-energy metabolites and other constituents for future needs. They are …

Our knowledge of inter-organellar communication has grown exponentially in recent years.
This review focuses on the interactions that cytoplasmic lipid droplets have with other …

Nascent lipid droplet (LD) formation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane
but it is not known how sites of biogenesis are determined. We previously identified ER …

The discovery by Dr. Constantine Londos of perilipin 1, the major scaffold protein at the
surface of cytosolic lipid droplets in adipocytes, marked a fundamental conceptual change in …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles that contain an oil core mainly composed of
triglycerides (TAG) that is surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer and LD-associated …
