Making Droplet-Embedded Vesicles to Model Cellular Lipid Droplets
STAR Protocols, 2020 Summary: We present a reproducible protocol to prepare droplet-embedded vesicles (DEVs) consisting of an oil droplet embedded within a phospholipid bilayer.

A transient solution for vesicle electrodeformation and relaxation
, 2012 A transient analysis for vesicle deformation under DC electric fields is developed. The theory extends from a droplet model, with the additional consideration of a lipid membrane separating two fluids of arbitrary properties.

Preparation, characterisation and application of naturally derived polar lipids through lipolysis : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Food Technology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 Monoglycerides are lipid based emulsifiers extensively used for their broad technical function in the food industry. Commercial monoglycerides are generally manufactured through chemical synthesis; however, lipolysis of triglycerides by lipase enzyme ...

Biopolymer-based structuring of liquid oil into soft solids and oleogels using water-continuous emulsions as templates [PDF]
, 2015 Physical trapping of a hydrophobic liquid oil in a matrix of water-soluble biopolymers was achieved using a facile two-step process by first formulating a surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsion stabilized by biopolymers (a protein and a polysaccharide ...

Identification of the lipid droplet targeting domain of the Cidea protein[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2010 Cidea, the cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-α-like effector (CIDE) domain-containing protein, is targeted to lipid droplets in mouse adipocytes, where it inhibits triglyceride hydrolysis and promotes lipid storage.

A finite membrane element formulation for surfactants
, 2019 Surfactants play an important role in various physiological and biomechanical applications. An example is the respiratory system, where pulmonary surfactants facilitate the breathing and reduce the possibility of airway blocking by lowering the surface ...

PAT proteins, an ancient family of lipid droplet proteins that regulate cellular lipid stores. [PDF]
, 2009 The PAT family of lipid droplet proteins includes 5 members in mammals: perilipin, adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa (TIP47), S3-12, and OXPAT.

Supersized lipid droplets [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2008 When we get plump, so do the lipid storage droplets in our cells. By screening mutant yeast, [Fei et al.][1] identify the first gene that controls the size of these lipid droplets. A similar human gene is involved in a rare fat storage disorder.
