Lipid droplets are dynamic intracellular lipid storage organelles that respond to the
physiological state of cells. In addition to controlling cell metabolism, they play a protective …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are deadly weapons used by phagocytes and other cell
types, such as lung epithelial cells, against pathogens. ROS can kill pathogens directly by …

Hofbauer cells (HBCs) are a population of macrophages found in high abundance within the
stroma of the first-trimester human placenta. HBCs are the only fetal immune cell population …

Cross-presentation is a critical function of dendritic cells (DCs) required for induction of
antitumor immune responses and success of cancer immunotherapy. It is established that …

Lipid droplets (LDs) contribute to key pathways important for the physiology and
pathophysiology of cells. In a homeostatic view, LDs regulate the storage of neutral lipids …

Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles ubiquitously distributed across the eukaryotic
kingdom. They have a central role in regulating lipid metabolism and undergo a dynamic …

Lipid droplets (LDs) were initially described as fat storage organelles in adipocytes, but are
increasingly recognized as dynamic players in lipid metabolism, with important roles not …

Chronic inflammation in many infectious and metabolic diseases, and some cancers, is
accompanied by the presence of foam cells. These cells form when the intracellular lipid …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are increasingly recognized as critical organelles in signalling events,
transient protein sequestration and inter-organelle interactions. However, the role LDs play …

Toxoplasma is an obligate intracellular parasite that replicates in mammalian cells within a
parasitophorous vacuole (PV) that does not fuse with any host organelles. One mechanism …
