Dietary fat accumulates in lipid droplets or endolysosomal compartments that undergo selective expansion under normal or pathophysiological conditions. We find that genetic defects in a peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway cause size expansion in lipid droplets that are distinct from the lysosome-r...
