Lipid droplets are cytosolic fat storage organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. Long
regarded merely as inert fat reservoirs, they are now emerging as major regulators of …

Algal lipid metabolism fascinates both scientists and entrepreneurs due to the large diversity
of fatty acyl structures that algae produce. Algae have therefore long been studied as …

Cancer cells possess remarkable abilities to adapt to adverse environmental conditions.
Their survival during severe nutrient and oxidative stress depends on their capacity to …

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy.
Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered …

Lipid droplets (LDs) of seed tissues are storage organelles for triacylglycerols (TAGs) that
provide the energy and carbon for seedling establishment. In the major route of LD …

Autophagy is a eukaryotic catabolic pathway essential for growth and development. In
plants, it is activated in response to environmental cues or developmental stimuli. However …

In eukaryotic cells, lipids in the form of triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major reservoir of
cellular carbon and energy. These TAGs are packed into specialized organelles called lipid …

In the present work, combined application of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and salinity
was used to stimulate biolipid production in the microalga Ankistrodesmus sp. EHY in a …

Autophagy is a catabolic process in which cytoplasmic components are delivered to
vacuoles or lysosomes for degradation and nutrient recycling. Autophagy-mediated …

The marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oceanica (CCMP1779) is a prolific producer of oil
and is considered a viable and sustainable resource for biofuel feedstocks. Nitrogen (N) …
