Figures & data

Figure 1. Caveolae dynamics links to lipid store fluctuations in adipocytes. Fully mature adipocytes engineered for a high caveolae density favor lipid droplet expandability and lipid storage (left). Conversely, forced lipid droplet shrinkage and extensive mobilization induces caveolae disassembly (right). Caveolae are represented as membrane invaginations in cell membrane, cell nucleus is shown in gray, lipid droplets are yellow.
