A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell using a mechanism that is actually intended for a completely different purpose. Their results have now been published in the journal Nature Cell Biology.
