Abstract
In neurodegeneration, neurons release lipids that accumulate in glial lipid droplets (LDs). But what controls lipid transport and how does this affect glia? A recent study by Li et al. discovered that the loss of neuronal AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity promotes lipid efflux, which drives a proinflammatory state in microglia.
