Lipid Droplets Guard Mitochondria during Autophagy

Publication date: 10 July 2017
Source:Developmental Cell, Volume 42, Issue 1
Author(s): Till Klecker, Ralf J. Braun, Benedikt Westermann
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.
