Peer ReviewDownload a summary of the editorial decision process including editorial decision letters, reviewer comments and author responses to feedback. Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as crucial hubs for ...

Specifically, unsaturated FAs, including linoleic acids (LA), activate the FABP4/CEBPα pathway, leading to triglyceride synthesis and lipid droplet formation. Furthermore, FABP4 enhances lipolysis and ...

During combination, the molecules reacted, forming a lipid—one with two tails. They noted that some of them also self-formed into spheres with membranes, which the team dubbed protocells.

Lipids act as extracellular and intracellular messengers to control cell fate in normal physiology and disease. When deregulated, lipid signalling contributes to inflammation and cancer, metabolic ...

We demonstrate that to permit long-term survival in response to sudden glucose depletion, yeast cells activate lipid-droplet (LD) consumption through micro-lipophagy (µ-lipophagy), in which fat is ...
