Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The lipid droplet (LD), an organelle that exists ubiquitously in various organisms, from bacteria to mammals, has attracted much attention from both medical and cell biology fields. The LD in white adipocytes is often treated as the prototype LD, but is rather a special example, considering that its size, intracellular localization and molecular composition are vastly different from those of non-adipocyte LDs. These differences confer distinct properties on adipocyte and non-adipocyte LDs. In this article, we address the current understanding of LDs by discussing the differences between adipocyte and non-adipocyte LDs. |
