Lipid Mediators and Cell Signaling
Photomicrograph of an atherosclerotic plaque.
Cell membrane lipids are used as intercellular messengers by binding to specific cellular receptors and transducing signals. Scientists in the center are working on novel studies to characterize novel lipid mediators such as sphingosine 1-phosphate as well as established mediators such as prostaglandins.
