In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Wang et al. (2018) identify a novel link between Lpcat3-mediated phospholipid remodeling (the Lands cycle) and cholesterol biosynthesis that modulates intestinal stem cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. Notably, inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis dampens many of the Lpcat3-deficiency-mediated effects in the intestine.
