Lipid droplets (LDs) are essential organelles for cellular energy homeostasis, but how metabolic cues are integrated in their life cycle is unclear. Teixeira et al. find that two protein isoforms, Ldo16 and Ldo45, differentially regulate LD dynamics under nutrient-rich and -deprived conditions, linking energy metabolism and storage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
