Cellular lipid droplets store lipids as reservoirs for metabolic energy and membrane precursors. Lipid droplets form the dispersed phase of a cellular emulsion in the aqueous cytosol. Principles ...

Here, we review the latest insights into the biology of lipid droplets and their role in maintaining lipid homeostasis in the liver. We also offer a perspective of liver diseases that feature ...

Lipids constitute the majority of metabolites ... Ph.D., professor and Smithgall Institute chair of molecular cell biology in the School of Biology, Georgia Institute of Technology.

Written and edited by experts in the field, Biology of Lipids: Trafficking, Regulation, and Function from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology provides a comprehensive review of lipid biology.

Since lipids are hydrophobic, they are better soluble in organic solvents than in water. Because the lipids are buried into protein particles simple shaking of the aqueous protein solution with an ...

The synthesis and transport of biological lipids across the mostly water-filled interior of the cell is a longstanding problem in biology. One of the solutions that nature has employed to solved it, ...

The findings confirm longstanding suspicions that not only is this lipid a key player in cancer biology (and therefore a key drug target) but also demonstrate that existing FDA-approved ...
