Summary

Moreover, these proteins have been linked to broader roles in developmental signaling, hematopoietic stem cell fate, and even as partners in cell adhesion‐dependent tumor suppression."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}, {"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "8", "end_ref": "13"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn summary, while these abstracts provide a rich picture of the protective and regulatory functions of ApoD and the modulatory roles of Cbp/PAG in diverse biological processes ranging from neural integrity and lipid homeostasis to immune regulation and cancer biology, they do not offer any information about NPIPA1.
