The paper identifies neuronal lipid droplets as conserved structures that regulate energy homeostasis with sex-biased effects in flies and mice.

This study identifies the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway as a key determinant of higher fat storage in Drosophila females through increased dietary sugar intake and Dilp3 expression.

This study identifies PTER as the taurine N-acetyltransferase/hydrolase, showing its role in regulating N-acetyltaurine levels and linking it to energy balance and metabolic phenotypes.
