Funded Activity Summary

The prevalence of obesity and its related disorders has reached an alarming level in Australia and other developed countries. Obesity is characterized by accumulation of fully-differentiated adipocytes loaded with lipid droplets (LDs). Therefore, understanding the cellular dynamics of LDs and the molecular mechanisms of adipogenesis (adipocyte differentiation) is of crucial importance in our battle against obesity. Our proposed study will help undertand the mechnisams of obesity.
