Lipid droplet degradation by autophagy connects mitochondria metabolism to Prox1-driven expression of lymphatic genes and lymphangiogenesis

Autophagy is essential to endothelial cell homeostasis. Here the authors show that lipophagy in LEC supports fatty acid oxidation to sustain a mitochondrial-Prox1 gene expression circuit and promote response of LEC to lymphangiogenic mediators.
