Lipid Metabolism at Membrane Contacts: Dynamics and Functions Beyond Lipid Homeostasis
Membrane contact sites (MCSs), regions where the membranes of two organelles are closely apposed, play critical roles in inter-organelle communication, such as lipid trafficking, intracellular signaling, and organelle biogenesis and division. First identified as “fraction X” in the early 90s, MCSs a...
