Lipid signalling is important for maintaining healthy skin and its disruption is implicated in some skin diseases. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), which are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, are key mediators of this signalling process. PPARs are transcription factors activated by lipophilic molecules that act as ligands. Importantly, these receptors link fluctuations in the levels and distribution of fatty acids, eicosanoids, and some phospholipids to changes [...]
