Abstract
Lipids play an important role in the regulation of cell life processes. Although there are various lipid detection methods, Raman spectroscopy, a non-invasive technique, provides the detailed chemical composition of lipid profiles without a complex sample preparation procedure and possesses greater potential in basic biology, clinical diagnosis and disease therapy. In this review, we summarized the characteristics and advantages of Raman-based techniques and their primary contribution to illustrating cellular lipid metabolism.
