This paper introduces POCA, a photosensitizer-based proximity labeling method that captures both protein and lipid interactomes with high spatiotemporal resolution.

This study shows that PPARγ controls adipose tissue expansion by regulating LPCAT3, which affects membrane lipid composition and triglyceride storage, linking dietary n-6 PUFAs to energy balance.

The paper identifies LPCAT3 as a cold-regulated enzyme that generates AA-PE in BAT mitochondria, enhancing ETC efficiency and thermogenesis.

The paper introduces a two-stage enrichment method called Cys-Surf to profile the cell surface cysteinome, identifying 821 ligandable cysteines and redox-sensitive residues with functional implications.

The paper identifies the Aster pathway as critical for dietary cholesterol uptake and shows it can be targeted with a small molecule inhibitor.
