    GlossaryLipid Signaling

    lipids act as messengers to regulate cellular functions

    Lipid signaling refers to the process by which lipids (fat molecules) act as signaling molecules to regulate various cellular functions. These lipids can bind to specific receptors on cell surfaces or within cells, triggering a cascade of biochemical reactions that influence processes such as inflammation, cell growth, and metabolism. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to external stimuli.
