The Epidermal Barrier is Indispensable for Systemic Energy Homeostasis

This study shows that a compromised epidermal barrier increases energy expenditure, food intake, and white adipose tissue browning while preventing diet-induced obesity.

HLH-30 dependent rewiring of metabolism during starvation in C. elegans

This study shows that HLH-30 regulates metabolic rewiring during starvation in C. elegans, with hlh-30 mutants relying on peroxisomes and exogenous fatty acids for survival.
