Published: October 2011

The mechanistic basis of how cells respond to increased fatty acids (FAs) is murky but potentially involves receptor-mediated activation or inhibition by different FA classes. Holzer et al. (2011) recently propose in Cell that expansion of intracellular membrane microdomains induced by saturated FA recruit and activate c-Src for JNK activation.
