Microscopic image of triangular follicle filled with lipid droplets to illustrate role of lipid droplets in fertility.

Research on fruit flies led by Michael Welte, a professor of biology, finds that lipid droplets play a role in cellular changes necessary for the growth of the egg—and could affect fertility in myriad organisms.

Once thought of merely as fat storages, lipid droplets are now believed to play important roles in human health and fertility.
