In human cells, lipid droplets (LDs) predominantly contain either cholesteryl esters or triacylglycerols. This article ...

Once thought to be little more than blobs of fat inside eukaryotic cells, lipid droplets may in fact provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens, according to evidence published today ...

Nektarios Tavernarakis from the University of Crete explore how tiny fat droplets, known as nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs), accumulate in the nucleus of cells as we age. Unlike regular lipid ...

Lipid accumulation in tumor cells and nearby immune cells promotes immune suppression and therapy resistance in ...

in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets. More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they ...

Are there key genes involved in TKI resistance in ccRCC? What mechanisms are associated with this development? A research team, led by Professor Ben Liu from the Department of Urology at the First ...

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led study demonstrated that Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the morphological characteristics of quiescent ...
