Nature Metabolism, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s42255-026-01500-4 Two studies published in Nature Metabolism show that dysregulation of specific metabolic enzymes within the pancreas leads to increased oxidative stress, which promotes pancreatic neoplasia in the presence of oncogenic KRAS mutations.

Nature Metabolism, Published online: 23 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s42255-026-01483-2 By determining the organellar topology and proteome of fat-oxidizing and fat-synthesizing hepatocytes, Kang et al. show that perilipin 5-mediated mitochondria–lipid droplet contacts facilitate the expansion of lipid droplets in both populations and are impaired in early metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
