Two Types of Contact Between Lipid Droplets and Mitochondria

Lipid droplets (LDs) and mitochondria are essential organelles involved in cellular lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Accumulated studies have revealed that the physical contact between these two organelles is important for their functions. Current understanding of the contact between cellular organelles is highly dynamic, fitting a “kiss-and-run” model. The same pattern of contact between LDs and mitochondria has been reported and...
