This project investigates how lipid droplets in eukaryotic cells contribute to innate immunity against pathogens. By exploring their role in immune responses, the research aims to uncover new mechanisms of defense and potential therapeutic targets for combating infections, particularly from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Successful defence against invaders is critical for survival of eukaryotic cells.
Microbes have developed many strategies to subvert host organisms which, in turn, evolved several innate immune responses to counterattack.
As major lipid storage organelles of eukaryotes, lipid droplets (LDs) are an attractive source of nutrients for invaders.
Pathogens induce and physically interact with LDs and the current view is that they hijack LDs to draw on substrates for host colonisation.
