Lipid droplets consist of a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer with bound proteins. Much of the information on lipid droplet function comes from proteomic and lipodomic ...

The central organelle within the hepatocyte that stores excess fat is the lipid droplet (LD). Scores of different proteins control the formation and use of LDs. A deficit in LD breakdown is believed ...

"Driven by a keen interest in lipid droplet functions in aging and disease ... at lipid droplets in the brains of mice with excess tau protein. They used a state-of-the-art SRS imaging platform ...

Caption Pictured are cells from a MIEL1 mutant Arabidopsis seed with neutral lipids shown in magenta and a lipid droplet coat protein shown in green. Traver and Bartel used genetics and microscopy ...
