Curious how lipid droplets support innate immunity in our cells? Check out our lipidomics by Bosch et al @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! Critical role of LD phospholipids and lipases in supplying defensive w6 arachidonic acid for inflammation and bacterial phagocytosis. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

New pre-print from the lab! Host lipid droplets coordinate the synthesis of defensive PUFAs and become PUFA reservoirs and suppliers that mediate inflammation, bacterial phagocytosis, and elimination of microbes. Have a look www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Looking for a PostDoc? Exciting science and great city! Join us @albertpol.bsky.social @albertherms.bsky.social in @idibaps.bsky.social Barcelona to work in an @ercresearch.bsky.social funded project to study how lipid droplets attract and kill bacteria. www.clinicbarcelona.org/uploads/medi...

Our group investigates the role of #lipid droplets (green) in killing intracellular pathogens (blue, E coli in human macrophages) when they are searching for nutrients. In our family we have nicknamed them defensive lipid droplets and FATal attraction. Credit @robparton.bsky.social @UQpress
