This protocol refines co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) for lipid droplet (LD)-specific protein interactions by isolating ...

A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Hypoxia induced lipid droplet ...

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 ...

While glucose, or sugar, is a well-known fuel for the brain, Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have demonstrated that electrical activity in synapses—the junctions between neurons where communication ...

Lipid droplets are the dispersed phase of an oil-in-water emulsion in the aqueous cytosol of cells, and the importance of basic biophysical principles of emulsions for lipid droplet biology is now ...

By 6 months, lipid staining revealed that microglia in these mice had 30 percent smaller lipid droplet area than control microglia. The FIT2-deficient microglia were not entirely devoid of droplets, ...

When they overexpressed tau in glia, but not in photoreceptor neurons, lipid droplet production fell by nearly 80 percent. When they cranked up tau expression in glia throughout the fly brain, glial ...

Alzheimer's disease progression linked to microglia fat metabolism, potential new treatment target identified in recent study ...

Lipid-based nanoparticles have emerged as highly useful particles in the pharmaceutical industry. However, their manufacturing involves complex processes and in-process monitoring, such as inline ...

Oil droplet formation: Oil (yellow) accumulates between the layers of the membrane that forms the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)—a network of membranes within the cytoplasm of plant cells. Droplets ...

Discover how the new technique of HSMP can help scientists gain insights into the world of biological processes and their ...
