title: Role for Torsin in Lipid Metabolism.
abstract: DYT1 dystonia is a neurological disease that causes involuntary twisting movements, often caused by dysfunction of the TorsinA gene. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Grillet et al. (2016) use Drosophila to discover that TorsinA regulates lipid metabolism, opening up future directions of research into the causes of this disease.
