Lipid staining is used to visualize neutral lipid droplets, membranous lipids, cholesterol, myelin lipids, and lipid-deposition-related structures in tissue, cell, or microbial samples. Different staining methods vary greatly in target recognition, sample pretreatment, and microscopic readout.

Lipids in inflammation and immune responses do not merely serve structural roles in membrane assembly and energy storage, but instead constitute a critical regulatory layer spanning the entire course of inflammatory initiation, signal amplification, immune cell differentiation, effector ...
Cholesterol is a ubiquitous membrane component in biology. In lipid bilayers it intercalates between phospholipids, tightening packing and modulating fluidity, elasticity, and permeability. In simple terms, it can “fill” packing defects created by imperfectly ordered lipids or by embedded ...
