Environmental Optimization Enables Maintenance of Quiescent Hematopoietic Stem Cells Ex Vivo
Summary: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain lifelong hematopoiesis by remaining quiescent in the bone marrow niche. Recapitulation of a quiescent state in culture has not been achieved, as cells rapidly proliferate and differentiate in vitro. After

Lipid phosphate phosphatases and signaling
Lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPPs) regulate cell signaling by modifying the concentrations of lipid phosphates versus their dephosphorylated products. The ecto-activity regulates the availability of extracellular lysophosphatidate (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and thereby signaling by their respective receptors.

Lipid signaling on the mitochondrial surface [PDF]
Regulated production and elimination of the signaling lipids phosphatidic acid (PA), diacylglycerol (DAG), and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI4,5P(2)) creates a complex and interconnected signaling network that modulates a wide variety of eukaryotic cell biological events.

Role of Cholesterol and Lipid Rafts in Cancer Signaling: A Promising Therapeutic Opportunity?
Cholesterol is a lipid molecule that plays an essential role in a number of biological processes, both physiological and pathological. It is an essential structural constituent of cell membranes, and it is fundamental for biosynthesis, integrity, and ...

Fumonisins are mycotoxins that cause diseases of plants and, when consumed by animals, can damage liver, kidney, lung, brain, and other organs, alter immune function, and cause developmental defects and cancer.

Lipid signals and insulin resistance
The metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic derangements that include obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance has been proposed to be the common feature that links obesity to the metabolic syndrome, but the mechanism remains obscure.

Lipid signalling in cardiovascular pathophysiology [PDF]
Although the role of lipids in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease has been appreciated for several decades, recent studies have advanced our understanding and revealed complex new functions and interactions for lipid molecules that are both beneficial and adverse.

Crosstalk between phospholipase D and sphingosine kinase in plant stress signaling
The activation of phospholipase D (PLD) produces phosphatidic acid (PA), whereas sphingosine kinase (SPHK) phosphorylates long-chain bases (LCBs) to generate LCB-1-phosphates (LCBPs) such as phytosphingosine-1-phosphate (phyto-S1P). PA and phyto-S1P have
