Lipids are known to play a crucial role both in the normal control of insulin release and in the deterioration of β-cell function, as observed in type 2 diabetes. Despite this established dual role of ...

However, the underlying mechanisms regarding the lipid droplet aggregation in the liver after fasting remains elusive. Here, we report that a lipid droplet surface binding protein Cidec (cell death ...

Water-sensitive papers (WSP) have emerged as a low-cost, field-deployable spray characterization method, posing significant challenges for field deployment. To address the limitations of existing WSP ...

Neutral fats in living organisms are stored in lipid droplets, intracellular organelles enveloped by a phospholipid monolayer. The fusion of these lipid droplets is vital for numerous physiological ...

Ultrastructural evidence of enhanced melanosome-lipid droplet interactions led us to hypothesize and demonstrate that ApoM-S1P signaling drives RPE-specific lysosomal lipid catabolism. RPE-specific ...
