Abstract

This article, titled "Lipid droplets in health and disease," provides an overview of the functions and roles of lipid droplets in both physiological and pathological states. Lipid droplets are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that store neutral lipids and play important roles in lipid biology. The article discusses the architecture of lipid droplets, their formation at the endoplasmic reticulum, and the proteins involved in their biogenesis. It also explores the processes of lipid droplet growth, degradation, and communication with other organelles. The authors highlight recent advancements in understanding lipid droplet functions and their implications in various diseases. [Extracted from the article]
