Lipid droplet (LD) growth mechanisms and the roles of LD-associated lipid transfer proteins remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the autophagy lipid transfer protein ATG2A has an anabolic role and promotes LD expansion by transferring diacylglycerol (DAG), and potentially triacylglycerol ...
Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles central to cellular energy homeostasis and stress adaptation. Maintaining LD balance is critical for cell function, yet the mechanisms governing selective LD degradation remain unclear. Here, we reveal a pathway promoting efficient vacuolar sequestering...
The retina is a notable tissue with high metabolic needs which relies on specialized vascular networks to protect the neural retina while maintaining constant supplies of oxygen, nutrients and dietary essential fatty acids. Here we analyzed the lipidome of the mouse retina under healthy and patho...
