Bacteria control the homeostasis of membrane lipid biophysical properties by altering the chain length of fatty acids, as well as the ratio of saturated:unsaturated fatty acids. The de novo ...

Left: normal astrocyte able to destroy toxic lipids produced by neurons. Right: an astrocyte that stores lipids in droplets (pink) and starts secreting toxic lipids in the surrounding tissue.

This suggests that lipid aggregation plays a crucial role in the pathology of PD by driving senescence in these vulnerable ...
