This Collection welcomes articles that offer insights into the biogenesis of lipid droplets and advances our understanding of lipid signalling in human disease.

As evolutionarily conserved organelles, lipid droplets perform many functions. Dysregulation of lipid droplet dynamics causes many metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver.

Infectious disease Lipid droplets are immune first responders Tiny organelles trap pathogens, luring them with free food and then killing them with antimicrobial proteins by Alla Katsnelson ...

Last year, scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray, Stanford University, reported that Aβ induced formation of lipid droplets within human microglia, and attributed this to an uptick in a triglyceride ...

If used in combination with a C/EBPb-activating drug, it may be possible to kick-start the lipid metabolism of dysregulated alveolar macrophages.
