Isolation and lipidomic profiling of neuronal lipid droplets to unveil the lipid landscape of neurodegenerative disorders
Key Takeaways
  • Neuronal lipid droplets were induced by blocking triglyceride lipase.
  • Isolated neuronal LDs were physically and biochemically characterized.
  • LC–MS lipidomics revealed unique lipid composition in neuronal LDs.
