Mouse gastrulation: the formation of a mammalian body plan.

abstract：:Lipids, in addition to being structural components of cell membranes, can act as signaling molecules. Bioactive lipids, such as sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), may act intracellularly as second messengers or be secreted and act as intercellular signaling molecules. Such molecules can aff...
