Lysophospholipid receptors in vertebrate development, physiology, and pathology
Lysophospholipid (LP) research has experienced a period of renaissance with the discovery of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors in the late 1990s.

Autocrine/paracrine lysophosphatidylserine signaling suppresses B cell aggregation and tertiary lymphoid structure formation [PDF]
Summary: Accumulating evidence suggests that Gα13 signaling by G protein-coupled receptors negatively regulate B cell function. We report here that lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS), an emerging immunoregulatory lysophospholipid, is produced upon B cell ...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

Requirement for sphingosine kinase 1 in mediating phase 1 of the hypotensive response to anandamide in the anaesthetised mouse [PDF]
In the isolated rat carotid artery, the endocannabinoid anandamide induces endothelium-dependent relaxation via activation of the enzyme sphingosine kinase (SK).
