The Farese & Walther laboratory investigates cellular lipid and energy metabolism, in particular the mechanisms ... Seipin forms a flexible cage at lipid droplet formation sites. Nat Struct Mol Biol.

Acyl-CoA binding proteins (ACBPs) play a crucial role in lipid metabolism and the stress response ... ACBPs have been shown to be essential for lipid droplet degradation during stress recovery.

Silencing triglyceride lipase or lipid storage droplet of the mosquitoes significantly disrupts the progeny’s energy metabolism, which stops embryos from hatching and results in embryonic death.

“When comparing krill and fish oil supplementation, we found differences in the metabolic regulation of genes involved in lipid degradation and synthesis,” said author Veronika ...
