Molecular mechanisms and energetics of lipid droplet formation and directional budding
F. Kazemisabet, A. Bahrami, R. Ghosh, B. Rozycki, A. H. Bahrami
This study uses simulations to show lipid droplet (LD) formation and budding are governed by ER and LD tensions, with budding being energetically neutral and tension-independent.
