Making Droplet-Embedded Vesicles to Model Cellular Lipid Droplets

Summary: We present a reproducible protocol to prepare droplet-embedded vesicles (DEVs) consisting of an oil droplet embedded within a phospholipid bilayer. This model system mimics a cellular lipid droplet (LD) in physical contact with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) bilayer. It has the advantage th...
