Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano-Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

• Publish Date: 2025-10-20

Research Abstract:

Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter-organelle com- munication. While the biogenesis and structure of LDs in seeds and other plant tissues have been well-documented, the full range of their functions has yet to be elucidated.
