Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease induced by a high-fat diet increases the association of mitochondria with lipid droplets, which can be reversed by a treadmill running routine. 🏃

preLight from Hellen Costa & Marcus Oliveira who cover work from Juan Carlos Bórquez & team.

How do #viruses exploit host cell #lipiddroplets for their replication?
Binbin Ding and coworkers show #SARSCoV2 ORF6 protein to bring lipid droplets in contact with ER and #mitochondria to alter cellular #lipid flux

Ivanovska et al. Small lipid droplets are rigid enough to indent a nucleus, dilute the lamina, and cause rupture. @JCellBiol

One of those findings that sounds really surprising (almost contradictory) but then makes you realise that you had no idea how rigid a lipid droplet was anyway!

Thinking about lipid droplets a lot lately. So many of them here 👇 #lipiddroplets (in green) #microscopy

Are you also fascinated by #InterorganellarCommunication via #MembraneContactSites?

Check out my weekly report, summarizing the latest work on membrane contact sites.

This week’s issue entails 8 publications, addressing MCS aspects in #Autophagy, #LipidDroplets, #SuperResolutionMicroscopy and more!

This is in close collaboration with #BioMedNews, a #MachineLearning platform that pre-selects potentially interesting work for me to curate and do the final assortment.

That awkward moment when you automate your embryo image acquisition and end up with stitching artifacts and also the egg isn’t fertilized so it’s not really an embryo 🫠
