Microglia Lipid Droplets in Physiology and Neurodegeneration
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles found in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Originally thought of as inert lipid-storing structures,... -
Are lipid droplets the picnic basket of brain tumours?
Are lipid droplets (LDs) necessary to maintain the viability of brain tumour cells as they move to new nutrient-poor environments? In turn, could...
