Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Inflammatory lipid mediators in adipocyte function and obesity
Survival of multicellular organisms depends on their ability to fight infection, metabolize nutrients, and store energy for times of need. Unsurprisingly, therefore, immunoregulatory and metabolic mechanisms interact in human conditions such as obesity ...

Various fatty acyl lipid mediators are derived from dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and modulate nociception. The modern diet is rich in linoleic acid, which is associated with nociceptive hypersensitivities and may present a risk factor for ...

Lipid signaling in CD95‐mediated apoptosis [PDF]
Ceramides play an important role mediating different cell responses such as proliferation, differentiation, growth arrest and apoptosis. They are released upon sphingomyelin hydrolysis which occurs after triggering of a number of cell surface receptors including CD95. Ceramide generation also regulates glycosphingolipid and ganglioside metabolism.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Essential fatty acids and lipid mediators. Endocannabinoids
In 1929 Burr and Burr discovered the essential fatty acids omega-6 and omega-3. Since then, researchers have shown a growing interest in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as precursors of “lipid mediator” molecules, often with opposing effects ...

A twist of FATe: Lipid droplets and inflammatory lipid mediators
Lipid droplets are fat storage organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They consist of a neutral lipid core containing mostly triglycerides and sterol esters and covered by a monolayer of phospholipids, wherein numerous proteins are embedded. In the cell, lipid droplets have a dynamic life cycle, rapidly altering their size, location, lipid and ...

Lipid mediators in immune regulation and resolution [PDF]
We are all too familiar with the events that follow a bee sting—heat, redness, swelling, and pain. These are Celsus' four cardinal signs of inflammation that are driven by very well‐defined signals and hormones. In fact, targeting the factors that drive this onset phase is the basis upon which most current anti‐inflammatory therapies were developed. We

We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
