Unlabelled: Soybean oil bodies were isolated from 3 cultivars (Ustie, K98, and Elena) and the occurrence of 2 classes of phytochemicals (tocopherol isoforms and isoflavones) and strength of their association with isolated oil bodies was evaluated. Tocopherol is shown to be closely associated with soybean oil bodies; δ-tocopherol demonstrated a significantly greater association with oil bodies over other tocopherol isoforms. Isoflavones do not show a significant physical association with oil bodies, although there is some indication of a passive association of the more hydrophobic aglycones during oil body isolation.
Practical Application: Oil bodies are small droplets of oil that are stored as energy reserves in the seeds of oil seeds, and have the potential to be used as future food ingredients. If oil body suspensions are commercialized on a large scale, knowledge of the association of phytochemicals with oil bodies will be valuable in deciding species of preference and predicting shelf life and nutritional value.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are organelles that store and supply lipids based on cellular needs. While mechanisms preventing oxidative damage to membrane phospholipids are established, the vulnerability of LD neutral lipids to peroxidation and protective mechanisms are unknown. Here, we identify LD-localized Ferroptosis Suppressor Protein 1 (FSP1) as a critical regulator that prevents neutral lipid peroxidation by recycling coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to its lipophilic antioxidant form.

Photosensitizers (PSs) featuring type I reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) activity offer a promising solution to achieve non-invasive and precise theranostics. However, the reported AIE luminogens (AIEgens) with both AIE characteristic and strong type-I ROS generation are still scarce and the structure-property relationship is still unclear. Herein, an innovative acceptor elongation boosted intersystem crossing (AEBIC) design strategy has been proposed to endow the AIEgen strong type-I ROS producibility.

Oil bodies are dynamic organelles in plant seeds. Oil body-associated protein (OBAP) is involved in regulating the size and vitality of oil bodies in overwintering seeds, and affects lipid mobilization and stress resistance during seed germination. In this study, we cloned an oil body associated protein gene LcOBAP2B (Leymus chinensis oil body associated protein 2B).

Dengue virus, an arbovirus from the genus Flavivirus in the family Flaviviridae, forms a nucleocapsid structure through interactions between its genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein. Experimental studies have confirmed the interaction between the viral capsid protein and lipid droplets, indicating a protein-lipid interaction. Cryo-EM studies show that in immature viruses, the nucleocapsid is located close to the viral membrane.

Aims: To reveal clinicopathological characteristics of alcoholic foamy degeneration (AFD)-an uncommon form of alcoholic liver injury.
Methods: Clinicopathological features of AFD (n=9) were examined in comparison to those of severe alcoholic hepatitis (SAH; n=12).
Results: Patients with AFD presented with either biochemical liver dysfunction (n=1) or clinical jaundice (n=8).
