The project investigates how cells store energy in lipid droplets, focusing on the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in their formation. It aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind lipid dynamics and their implications for diseases like obesity.
Organisms and cells face a myriad of environmental changes with periods of nutrient surplus and shortage.
It is therefore not surprising that in all kingdoms of life, cells have evolved the means to store energy and thereby minimize the effects of environmental fluctuations.
While the capability for energy storage has obvious advantages, deregulated energy accumulation can also be detrimental and is the hallmark of many diseases such as obesity.In most cells energy is stored as neutral lipids in…
