After seeing so many #LipidDroplets in the healthy young brain with our fluorescent LD reporter mouse (rdcu.be/dMdQ9), we wondered why they have not been seen in young brains from wildtype mice.

We can now detect them (almost) as good as in the tdTom-Plin2 mouse with commercially available reagents! And we found an absolutely stunning number of #LipidDroplets in the normal aged mouse brain! Have a look at Figure 6/Suppl. Fig.5/6!

rdcu.be/dMdQ9   Excited and proud to see the final version of our manuscript out @NatureComms, describing a new lipid droplet reporter mouse, which allows staining-free fluorescent visualization of #LipidDroplets!! Check out how numerous they are in the brain!

4.) We demonstrate that this approach can be combined with subsequent scRNA Sequencing and show that there is a population of microglia that already contain many LDs at 2 month of age.

5.) We also show that LDs in the developing mouse brain are abundant and react dynamically to exogenous lipids, using ex vivo live imaging. In summary, a great tool to study the role of LDs in the brain, from development, adult to aging! This will keep us busy for years!! 😊
