Abstract
Neutral lipid is stored in intracellular lipid droplets, whose biology remains incompletely understood. Recent work by Farese and colleagues (Guo et al., 2008) takes a systematic genome-wide approach to comprehensively identify processes regulating formation and metabolism of lipid droplets. The findings may offer novel insights into diseases involving lipid storage.
