Abstract

Lipid droplets (LDs) are key organelles for fat storage and trafficking. In this issue, Rogers et al. (2022. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202205053) show that glucose restriction triggers liquid crystalline lattice formation within LDs, which in turn alters the recruitment of proteins to the LD surface.<br /> (© 2022 Windham and Cohen.)
