In this issue of Developmental Cell, Nguyen et al. (2017) show that lipid droplets serve a dual purpose during starvation. First, they act as an energy source by supplying fatty acids for mitochondrial β oxidation. Second, they sequester toxic lipids that arise during autophagic degradation of membranous organelles, thereby protecting mitochondria.
在本期《发育细胞》中,Nguyen 等人(2017 年)表明,脂滴在饥饿期间具有双重作用。首先,它们通过提供脂肪酸用于线粒体β氧化来充当能量来源。其次,它们隔离了自噬降解膜细胞器过程中产生的有毒脂质,从而保护了线粒体。
