Lipid droplet formation in HeLa cervical cancer cells depends on cell density and the concentration of exogenous unsaturated fatty acids

Cytosolic lipid droplets (LDs) store excess fatty acids (FAs) in the form of neutral lipids and prevent starvation-induced cancer cell death. Here we studied the ability of mono- and polyunsaturated FAs to affect LD formation and survival in Hela cervical cancer cells. We found that the LD content i...
