Abstract

The concept of lipids acting as signaling and regulatory molecules is now taken for granted. However 3-4 decades ago, this was a rather unthinkable proposition even though the "writing was on the wall" since at least the 1950s. Here, I summarize briefly key historical landmarks in the evolution of the field of bioactive lipids and then describe studies from my group over 3 decades, focusing on the contemporaneous development of understanding of bioactive sphingolipids.
