Epicardial progenitor cells (EpiCs) which are derived from the proepicardium have the potential to differentiate into coronary vascular smooth muscle cells during development. Whether sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a ...
Balanced sphingolipid signaling is important for the maintenance of homeostasis. Sphingolipids were demonstrated to function as structural components, second messengers, and regulators of cell growth and survival in n...
