Funded Activity Summary

Fat is stored in the form of lipid droplets in our cells and body. However, our knowledge on how lipid droplets grow and are broken down is very limited. We aim to investigate how lipids are delivered to the lipid droplets and how lipid droplets can store lipids efficiently. Results from the proposed work will provide fundamental new knowledge on how our cells store and utilize fat. Such knowledge may be translated into therapeutic strategies one day against obesity and diabetes.
