Abstract:
The lipid droplet is a kind of organelle that stores neutral lipids in cells. Recent studies have found that in addition to energy storage, lipid droplets also play an important role in biological processes such as resistance to stress, immunity, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and signal transduction. Lipid droplets are formed at the endoplasmic reticulum, and mature lipid droplets participate in various cellular processes. Lipid droplets are decomposed by lipase and lysosomes. In the life of a lipid droplet, the most important thing is to interact with other organelles, including the endoplas

Abstract:
Lipins are phosphatidate phosphatases that generate diacylglycerol (DAG). In this study, we report that yeast lipin, Pah1p, controls the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets. Disruption of PAH1 resulted in a 63% decrease in droplet number, although total neutral lipid levels did not change. This was accompanied by an accumulation of neutral lipids in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The droplet biogenesis defect was not a result of alterations in neutral lipid ratios. No droplets were visible in the absence of both PAH1 and steryl acyltransferases when grown in glucose medium, even though the

Purpose of review Lipid droplets are increasingly recognized as distinct intracellular organelles that have functions exclusive to the storage of energetic lipids. Lipid droplets modulate macrophage inflammatory phenotype, control the availability of energy for muscle function, store excess lipid, sequester toxic lipids, modulate mitochondrial activity, and allow transfer of fatty acids between tissues.

The study of proteins associated with lipid droplets in adipocytes and many other cells is a rapidly developing area of inquiry. Although lipid droplets are easily visible by light microscopy, few standardized microscopy methods have been developed. Several methods of chemical fixation have recently been used to preserve cell structure before visualization of lipid droplets by light microscopy. We tested the most commonly used methods to compare the effects of the fixatives on cellular lipid content and lipid droplet structure.

Rotaviruses (RVs) cause acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children, and are globally distributed.

In lactating mammary epithelial cells, immediate precursors of milk lipid globules appear to be cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLD).

The spatiotemporal organization of membrane proteins is implicated in cellular trafficking, signalling and reception. It was proposed that biological membranes partition into lipid rafts that can promote and control the organization of membrane proteins to localize the mentioned processes. Lipid rafts are thought to be transient (microseconds) and small (nanometers), rendering their detection a challenging task. To circumvent this problem, multi-component artificial membrane systems are deployed to study the segregation of lipids at longer time and length scales. In this thesis, multi-componen

Abstract:
Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles with many functions in cells and numerous protein interactors facilitate their biogenesis, maintenance, and turnover. The mammalian lipase responsible for LD turnover during lipophagy, LipA, has two candidate homologs in Arabidopsis: MPL1 and LIP1. One or both of these plant homologs may function in a similar manner to mammalian LipA, providing an LD breakdown pathway. To test this hypothesis, wild type (WT) Arabidopsis plants, MPL1 over-expressing (OE) mutants, and T-DNA insertion mutants of MPL1 (mpl1) and LIP1 (lip1) were examined for LD phenotypes in no

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that represents the root cause of the majority of heart attacks and strokes. The accumulation of lipid droplets (LDs) in macrophages and their subsequent transformation into foam cells is one of the key steps in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. It has been traditionally thought that this process is largely dependent on the accumulation of oxidised low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) via uptake by macrophage scavenger receptors.
