  eLife Assessment

  This valuable study employed a multi-omics approach to elucidate the regulatory mechanism underlying parturition and myometrial quiescence. The data presented to support the main conclusion are solid. This work will be of interest to both basic researchers who work on reproductive biology and clinicians who practice reproductive medicine.

  eLife Assessment

  This is an interesting study that adds useful new data addressing how different DAG pools influence cellular signaling. The study dissects how the enzyme Dip2 modulates the minor lipid signaling DAG pool, which is distinct from the lipid metabolism DAG pool utilized in membrane production. Overall the analysis is solid and broadly supports the claims.
