A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Hypoxia induced lipid droplet accumulation promotes resistance to ferroptosis in prostate cancer." ...

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

Immuno-EM labeling for lipid droplet marker perilipin-2 in F) uninfected Vero cells and G) cells infected with SARS-CoV-2 for 24 hours. Blue color in A, B, D, ...

Lipid droplets normally associate with mitochondria. But during an infection, these organelles seem to help switch cells into a bacteria-fighting metabolic mode by uncoupling themselves from the ...

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 ...

Furthermore, some bacteria can evade the lipid droplet attacks, and these are often pathogens we are familiar with. “We had Salmonella in there, and there was no killing as far as we could tell ...

Lipids in the form of tiny droplets control a variety of processes in the brain, normally tightly regulated. In Alzheimer’s or similar diseases, lipid droplet metabolism can malfunction, although ...

And this in case, the term “nanoparticle” refers to a tiny lipid droplet that carries the vaccine component. Lipids are substances that are not soluble in water, like fats.

Pictured are cells from a MIEL1 mutant Arabidopsis seed with neutral lipids shown in magenta and a lipid droplet coat protein shown in green. Traver and Bartel used genetics and microscopy to ...

"Rab10 switches on and builds up around the lipid droplet," says Dr. McNiven. "Then, the cell activates its lysosomes that then targets these lipid droplets and goes after them.
