| Abstract |
In mammalian cells a complex interplay regulates the distribution of cholesterol between intracellular membrane compartments. One important aspect of cholesterol regulation is intracellular cholesterol storage in neutral lipid storage organelles called lipid droplets or lipid bodies (LBs). Recent work has thrust the LB into the limelight as a complex and dynamic cellular organelle. LBs play a crucial role in maintaining the cellular levels of cholesterol by regulating the interplay between lipid storage, hydrolysis and trafficking. Studies of caveolins, caveolar membrane proteins linked to lipid regulation, are providing new insights into the role of LBs in regulating cholesterol balance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 October 2023.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology
#837
of 2,047 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,980
of 74,415 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology
#4
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,047 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 74,415 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 4 of them.
