This review describes the multimodal and multinodal organization of the LPA signaling network, detailing upstream biosynthesis, receptor diversity, and downstream effectors across diverse organ systems. Therapeutic strategies targeting ATX, LPARs, and intracellular mediators are critically assessed, along with a review of ongoing and emerging clinical trials.
