The internal architecture of leukocyte lipid body organelles captured by three-dimensional electron microscopy tomography.
Lipid bodies (LBs), also known as lipid droplets, are complex organelles of all eukaryotic cells linked to a variety of biological functions as well as to the development of human diseases. In cells from the immune system, such as eosinophils, neutrophils and macrophages, LBs are rapidly formed in t...
