Ubiquitous yet unique, lipid droplets are intracellular organelles that are increasingly being
recognized for their versatility beyond energy storage. Advances uncovering the intricacies …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that store neutral lipids for energy or
membrane synthesis and act as hubs for metabolic processes. Cells generate LDs de novo …

Abbreviations used in this paper: ACS, acyl-CoA synthetase; AGPAT, 1-acylglycerol-3-
phosphate O-acyltransferase; CCT, CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase; CoA …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that play central roles in energy and lipid
metabolism (Murphy and Vance, 1999; Murphy, 2001; Martin and Parton, 2006). Neutral …

Cells prepare for fluctuations in nutrient availability by storing energy in the form of neutral
lipids in organelles called Lipid Droplets (LDs). Upon starvation, fatty acids (FAs) released …

Lipids are essential components for life. Their various structural and physical properties
influence diverse cellular processes and, thereby, human health. Lipids are not genetically …

Lipid droplets (LDs) and peroxisomes are central players in cellular lipid homeostasis: some
of their main functions are to control the metabolic flux and availability of fatty acids (LDs and …

Proteomic studies have revealed many potential functions of cytoplasmic lipid droplets, and
recent activity has confirmed that these bona fide organelles are central not only for lipid …

In recent years attention has been focused on the utilization of microorganisms as
alternatives for industrial and nutritional applications. Considerable research has been …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are fat storage organelles that originate from the endoplasmic reticulum
(ER). Relatively little is known about how sites of LD formation are selected and which …
