De novo lipogenesis fuels adipocyte autophagosome and lysosome membrane dynamics

The function of de novo lipogenesis (DNL) in adipocytes has been a mystery as it contributes little to fat storage in these cells. Here, the authors show that DNL is a critical source of fatty acids for membrane-expanding processes like autophagy.
