The following is a summary of “Effect of afzelin on inflammation and lipogenesis in particulate matter-stimulated C.

Once thought to be little more than blobs of fat inside eukaryotic cells, lipid droplets may in fact provide a first line of defence against invading pathogens, according to evidence published today ...

Nektarios Tavernarakis from the University of Crete explore how tiny fat droplets, known as nuclear lipid droplets (nLDs), accumulate in the nucleus of cells as we age. Unlike regular lipid ...

"Intriguingly, the inert lipid droplets observed in tauopathy brains ... These microglia then mount an inflammatory response that causes further stress to neurons, triggering a repeating and ...

in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets. More broadly the lab studies the mechanisms how cells regulate the abundance of lipids, how they ...
