DFCP1 Regulates Starvation-Driven ATGL Lipolysis
2026-09-21
The reference study identifies DFCP1/ZFYVE1 as a nutrient-sensitive regulator of lipid droplet breakdown, showing that it recruits ATGL during starvation while limiting ATGL dissociation from droplets. This finding shifts attention from ATGL localization alone to the regulation of enzyme residence time as a determinant of lipolytic output.

APEX2 Enables TERT Expression in Human Stem Cells
2026-09-13
This preprint identifies APEX2, but not its paralog APEX1, as a contributor to efficient TERT expression and telomerase activity in human embryonic stem cells and a melanoma cell line. Its RNA-seq and chromatin-binding data suggest that APEX2 may connect DNA repair at repetitive elements with regulation of TERT transcription.
