Title: “Mitochondria Interactions with Lipid Droplets”
Fèlix Serratosa Conference room. Please, members of IBMB, check your mailbox.
Abstract: Mitochondria play a central role in lipid metabolism and can bind to lipid droplets. However, the role and functional specialization of the population of peridroplet mitochondria (PDMs) remain unclear, as methods to isolate functional PDMs were not developed until recently. In this talk, we will define the emerging roles of mitochondria interactions with lipid droplets in health and disease.
