The FASEB Science Research Conference" Lysophospholipid and Related Mediators: From Bench to Clinic" conference was held in Lisbon, Portugal, from July 28 through August 2, 2019 as part of the FASEB 2019 Science Research Conference (SRC) series. The FASEB conference focused on current and emerging concepts related to bioactive lysophospholipids and their roles in health and disease, with emphasis on both the underlying biology of the signaling pathways and translation of work into drug development and clinical practice. Over the course of four and one-half days, 55 invited and 2 keynote speakers presented new and published work, supplemented with 48 posters. Given the availability and development of clinical therapeutics targeting their signaling pathways, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) were the focus of many of the sessions, but other emerging bioactive lipid mediators were covered in several presentations. The FASEB conference also served as a platform for young and new investigators to chat one-onone with senior principal investigators and professors on career development and advancement, mentoring, postdoctoral fellowships, and research in biopharma. A separate session by the participating women scientists addressed the role of women in basic, translational, and clinical research and development of drugs for women's health. The FASEB Science Research Conference series is an annual program of 30 to 40 conferences, held in different locations around the world. This FASEB conference has been a biennial event for 20 years, filling a unique and specific need in the field by providing a forum for interactions between basic scientists and clinical researchers. As an example, the immunomodulating drug fingolimod (Gilenya; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), which targets S1P receptor signaling and is now US Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, was first reported at this FASEB conference in 2001. This year, attendees heard the promising results of early phase clinical trials of GLPG1690, an inhibitor of the lysophospholipase D autotaxin (ATX) that generates LPA, and the launch of the ISABELA phase 3 trial to study GLPG1690 in 1500 patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Several presentations highlighted development of new and novel small molecule inhibitors targeting enzymes of S1P and LPA metabolism for therapy. The conference began with a keynote presentation by Dr. Jason Cyster (University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA), who was the first Tager Honored Speaker, a designation established at this year's conference as enduring recognition of Dr. Andrew Tager's contributions to the lysophospholipid field, in particular his identification of LPA signaling in IPF. Cyster's work has defined fundamental aspects of lymphocyte trafficking between tissue and blood in a S1P-regulated manner. His presentation included discussion on the identification of cell-type-specific S1P receptors, regulation of the receptors by the lymphocyte activation antigen CD69, and the identification of geranylgeranyl-L-glutathione as a novel ligand for the Ga13-coupled P2RY8 receptor that inhibits the migration and regulates growth of B cells (1). Following this, Dr. David Brindley (Fig. 1; University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), recipient of theJournal of Lipid Research award, gave a keynote address on regulation of breast cancer by mammary adipose production of ATX and provided compelling evidence that the ATX/LPA signaling pathway is a regulator of maladaptive inflammation (2). The roles of S1P and LPA signaling …
