Abstract
Mechanical stress has been shown to induce the degradation of lipid droplets in kidney epithelial cells. Here, we illustrate the technical equipment and devices that are currently used in our laboratory to apply shear stress on cells. We provide a detailed protocol to monitor lipophagy in response to shear stress. The aim of this review is to guide and help people understand the challenges in studying acidic lipolysis in cells subjected to fluid flow.
