Abstract excerpt
PIK3CA mutations drive benign adipose overgrowth in facial infiltrating lipomatosis (FIL), but the downstream molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study investigated the role of palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1)-mediated depalmitoylation in regulating aberrant adipogenesis induced by mutant PIK3CA. Using single-cell RNA-seq, molecular dynamics simulations, and functional assays in...
