Figure 4 Giant lipid droplet formation
Figure 4 | Giant lipid droplet formation. Giant lipid droplets (LDs) form in one of two ways. a | Coalescence, which occurs for example during relative phosphatidylcholine deficiency, results in rapid fusion of two LDs. b | In a process called ripening, neutral lipids are transferred by the slower process of diffusion with a net transfer from smaller to larger LDs. Ripening seems to be facilitated by proteins such as CIDEC (also known as FSP27). Gluchowski, N. L. et al. (2017) Lipid droplets and liver disease: from basic biology to clinical implications Nat.
