Clickable Lipid Precursors As Chemical Tools For Imaging And Tracking Lipids, Christelle Anne Fernandez Ancajas Aug 2023

Clickable Lipid Precursors As Chemical Tools For Imaging And Tracking Lipids, Christelle Anne Fernandez Ancajas

Doctoral Dissertations

The regulation of lipid metabolism is crucial for maintaining the human body, as disruptions in lipid homeostasis have drastic implications. While lipids are known for their roles as energy stores as well as for cellular compartmentalization, certain lipid classes can serve as signaling agents that govern cellular behavior and physiology or as biomarkers whose concentration and spatial organization impacts cell fate. Thus, dysregulation in these processes coincide with a variety of diseases and cancers. However, the ability to track lipids has been a long-standing challenge in the area of chemical biology since lipids are chemically diverse and undergo continuous interconversion …
