Lipids are major cell constituents endowed with astonishing structural diversity. The pathways responsible for the assembly and disposal of different lipid species energetically demanding, genes encoding metabolic factors lipid-related proteins comprise a sizable fraction our coding genome. Despite importance lipids, biological significance diversity remains largely obscure. Recent technological developments have enabled extensive analysis at single level, revealing unexpected cell-cell variability in composition. This new evidence suggests that is exploited multicellularity lipids role establishment maintenance identity. In this review, we highlight emerging concepts technologies implications research future studies.
