Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles in cells that physically resemble stable oil-water emulsion droplets. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Ben M'barek et al. (2017) show that the resemblance is more than superficial: physical principles governing emulsion stability also control lipid droplet nucleation and growth.
脂滴是细胞中储存脂肪的细胞器，其物理形态类似于稳定的油水乳液滴。在本期《发育细胞》中，Ben M'barek 等人（2017 年）表明，这种相似性不仅仅是表面上的：控制乳液稳定性的物理原理也控制着脂滴的成核和生长。
