Polarity‐selective Transfer of Lipophilic Cargoes From Lipid Droplets (Oleosomes) to Lipid Bilayers (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 5/2025)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Lipid Droplet Carriers The article 2400600 by Constantinos V. Nikiforidis and co-workers describe the transportation of lipophilic cargoes from Lipid Droplets (LDs) to lipid bilayers using liposomes. LDs loaded with curcumin and Nile red showed selective transfer, with only curcumin moving to liposomes due to its amphiphilicity. Understanding the transport mechanisms from LDs to lipid bilayers will aid their use as natural lipid carriers.
