The biophysics and cell biology of lipid droplets

Key Points Cellular lipid droplets store lipids as reservoirs for metabolic energy and membrane precursors. Lipid droplets form the dispersed phase of a cellular emulsion in the aqueous cytosol. Principles of emulsion science are applicable to many lipid droplet-related processes. Emulsions properti...
