lipidomics

We formulated the lipotype hypothesis

We wrote a piece with Giovanni D’Angelo titled “The lipotype hypothesis” on Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology! Considering recent evidence on lipid-cell response to interaction cues, we proposed that cell variability in lipid composition assists the divergence of differentiation trajectories, leading to the establishment of several cell identities.

From cell fat to cell fate

Using single-cell lipidomics our lab and the lab of Giovanni D’Angelo discovered the existence of lipotypes. Cell’s lipid composition can play a key role in determining what that cell will become. Science paper here

From cell “fat” to cell fate

Using single-cell lipidomics our lab and the lab of Giovanni D’Angelo discovered the existence of lipotypes, cell states characterized by their lipid composition. We describe how lipid composition can play a key role in determining functional transitions. Science paper here
