Thanks to @AZadoorian22 for finishing up this review. Lipid droplets are connected with many disease conditions. Here we summarize the latest on the biogenesis and functions of lipid droplets. We discuss a key role for lipid droplets in alleviating cellular stresses.
Want to know the latest about #LipidDroplet biogenesis and functions in health and disease?. Check out our @NatureRevEndo paper published online today! Thanks @rob8yang for the absolute privilege and joy of writing this with you and @ximingDu!🧵

Glad to see this online. From a random control experiment， we unexpectedly noticed that CIDE proteins and LD-localized ORP proteins cannot coexist on LDs. Through a series of experiments, we show that ORP2/5 keeps CIDE proteins away from LDs by depleting LD surface PI(4)P.
PI(4)P recruits CIDE proteins to promote the formation of unilocular lipid droplets during adipogenesis and hepatic steatosis | PNAS

Well done, Dongyin and Xiaoqin.
We received 265 attendees per lecture in the summer seminar series. Now, we have finalized the speaker list and presentation dates for this upcoming fall seminar series. We continue to look forward to exciting science and inspiring discussions.
