An Energy-Independent Pro-longevity Function of Triacylglycerol in Yeast.

An Energy-Independent Pro-longevity Function of Triacylglycerol in Yeast.

Intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) is a ubiquitous energy storage lipid also involved in lipid homeostasis and signaling. Comparatively, little is known about TAG's role in other cellular functions. Here we show a pro-longevity function of TAG in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In...
