This project investigates the formation of lipid droplets in yeast cells, focusing on the early stages of their development. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, it aims to identify the proteins and lipids involved in lipid droplet biogenesis, which is crucial for understanding various metabolic disorders.
Lipid droplets (LDs) are evolutionarily conserved dynamic organelles dedicated to storage of fat.
Relatively little is known about the molecular processes that regulate nascent LD formation at specific sites in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Understanding LD biogenesis and degradation is crucial for deciphering the pathophysiology of LD storage disorders, like obesity, diabetes type-2, atherosclerosis, and lipodystrophy.
The main objective of this project is to precisely map and characterize LD…
