Back to article: Host upregulation of lipid droplets drives antiviral responses


FIGURE 1: Lipid droplets upregulated by IFN may contribute to a bystander effect. Viral infection of a cell leads to the increase of lipid droplets (LDs) and the production of interferon. Interferon is secreted out of cells where it sets up a bystander effect in neighbouring uninfected cells. This interferon also activated the accumulation of LDs, which we hypothesis could contribute to this phenomenon. Figure created on BioRender.
