Macropinocytosis of the signalling receptor LPAR1, by an actin and CYRI-B-dependent mechanism, impacts on progression and spread of pancreatic cancer in a mouse model.
A lipid mediator lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) derived from fibroblastic reticular cells regulates T-cell movement through the densely packed reticular network in lymph nodes in a manner dependent on the LPA receptor LPA2-ROCK-myosin II.
Combined cutting-edge technologies discovered a pair of carboxylate transporters that appears evolutionarily different among novel transporters and that is essential for parasite physiology.

The metabolic readout of endothelial function in the microvessels-on-a-chip facilitates mechanistic studies and detection of biomarkers for microvascular diseases in a physiological relevant environment.
Metabolomics analysis identified potential neuroactive metabolites, issued from food and microbial fermentation, that are linked to symptoms of depression, anxiety and alcohol craving.
