Abstract
A new paper by Bailey et al. reveals that lipid droplets, crucial organelles for energy storage, can also protect against oxidative stress. In Drosophila larvae, lipid droplets in glia allow neuronal stem cells to keep proliferating under hypoxic conditions. Protection likely involves sequestering vulnerable membrane lipids away from reactive oxygen species.Entities:
