  2. Lipid droplet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_droplet

    Neither DGAT1 nor DGAT2 is singularly essential for TAG synthesis or droplet formation, though mammalian cells lacking both cannot form lipid droplets and have severely stunted TAG synthesis. DGAT1, which seems to prefer exogenous fatty acid substrates, is not essential for life; DGAT2, which seems to prefer endogenously synthesized fatty acids ...

  3. Fat globule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_globule

    The lipid droplet's function is to store energy for the organism's body and is found in every type of adipocytes. They can consist of a vacuole, droplet of triglyceride, or any other blood lipid, as opposed to fat cells in between other cells in an organ. They contain a hydrophobic core and are encased in a phospholipid monolayer membrane. Due ...

  4. 3T3-L1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3T3-L1

    Differentiated adipocytes in a 3T3-L1 cell line stained with Oil Red O. 3T3-L1 is a sub clonal cell line derived from the original 3T3 Swiss albino cell line of 1962. The 3T3 original cell line was isolated from a mouse embryo and propagated for this specific line of 3T3 cells is used to study adipose tissue-related diseases and dysfunctions.

  5. Adipocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipocyte

    White fat cells contain a single large lipid droplet surrounded by a layer of cytoplasm, and are known as unilocular. The nucleus is flattened and pushed to the periphery. A typical fat cell is 0.1 mm in diameter [2] with some being twice that size, and others half that size.

  6. T cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell

    T cells are one of the important types of white blood cells of the immune system and play a central role in the adaptive immune response. T cells can be distinguished from other lymphocytes by the presence of a T-cell receptor (TCR) on their cell surface. T cells are born from hematopoietic stem cells, [1] found in the bone marrow.

  7. Large granular lymphocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_granular_lymphocytic...

    The neoplastic cells of this disease display a mature T-cell immunophenotype, with the majority of cases showing a CD4-/CD8+ T-cell subset immunophenotype versus other permutations of those markers. [8] [9] Variable expression of CD11b, CD56, and CD57 [10] are observed. Immunohistochemistry for perforin, TIA-1, and granzyme B are usually ...

  8. Neutral lipid storage disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_lipid_storage_disease

    Now, having lipid deposits in the white blood cells of the individual is known and recognized as Jordans' anomaly, due to the medical professional who discovered it. [10] The first case of neutral lipid storage disease was reported by Maurice Dorfman when he treated two sisters with non-bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma in 1974. [2]

  9. T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-cell_prolymphocytic_leukemia

    T-cell-prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a mature T-cell leukemia with aggressive behavior and predilection for blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and skin involvement. [1] T-PLL is a very rare leukemia, primarily affecting adults over the age of 30. It represents 2% of all small lymphocytic leukemias in adults. [2]
