LIMNA Symposium: LIPIDS AS MEDIATORS OF CELLULAR AND ORGANISMAL FUNCTION
Lipids are essentially involved in many physiological processes. Dysregulations of lipid metabolism have been linked to several diseases. The symposium organized by the Lausanne Integrative Metabolism and Nutrition Alliance (LIMNA) will provide an overview of cell biology aspects, introduce you to current avenues in clinical lipids research and adipocyte biology, new tools and areas for lipids investigations, as well as the role of membrane lipids and lipid droplets.
