On Friday, 1 July 2022, L. Wang will defend her PhD dissertation, entitled: ‘Role of Intracellular Compartments in Liver Disease - Action and Function of Mitochondria and Lipid Droplets’.
Dissertation in short:
Metabolic homeostasis plays one of the most important roles in health and disease. The liver is certainly no exception. Recently, increasing evidence demonstrates that metabolism regulates cell fate and function both in cancer cells and normal stem cells [1]. Metabolic disorders have been observed in many diseases, especially in cancers. The liver plays a crucial role virtually in all metabolic processes including regulation of lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism. In this thesis I explored the role of two important subcellular compartments, lipid droplets and mitochondria, in this context.
