Lipid metabolism dynamics span the synthesis, trafficking and utilisation of lipids within cells. Central to energy storage and membrane maintenance, lipids are shuttled between organelles, ...

LipiPB Red shows longer fluorescence lifetimes in stable lipid droplets (red) and shorter lifetimes as they undergo degradation (blue). This probe revealed that lipid droplets sequentially degrade, ...

Lipid droplets accumulate in microglia in mouse and cell models of amyloidosis but scientists are not sure why. Evidence suggests that Aβ helps create the glut, but now scientists led by Lingyan Shi ...

Lipid digestion in the human gastrointestinal tract hinges on the dynamic behaviour of emulsified fats as they undergo physicochemical and structural transformations. From the moment dietary lipids ...

Recent studies suggest that when neurons are overwhelmed by oxidative stress, they spew out toxic, peroxidated lipids. Glia then sail in to mop up the spill, containing the oils within intracellular ...
