A conserved megaprotein-based molecular bridge critical for lipid trafficking and cold resilience

Environmental temperature changes can alter cell membrane lipid composition but the mechanisms underlying this conserved mechanism are unclear. Here, the authors identify the megaprotein LPD-3 in C. elegans as critical for normal phospholipid distribution and cold resilience.
