Ceramides are sphingolipids containing a sphingosine or a related base, to which a fatty
acid is linked through an amide bond. When incorporated into a lipid bilayer, ceramides …

Altering the properties of phospholipid membranes by light is an attractive option for the
noninvasive manipulation of membrane proteins and cellular functions. Lipids with an …

Ceramides are the central molecules in sphingolipid metabolism. In addition, they are
recognized as important modulators of cell function, playing key roles in several cellular …

Background A higher circulating plasma ceramide ratio (C16: 0/C24: 0) is associated with an
increased risk of heart failure, even after accounting for standard risk factors including lipid …

Ceramides, structural components of the cell, are known to play a range of roles in glucose
metabolism and apoptosis. C16-ceramide, an abundant molecular species of endogenous …

Lipids are considered important factors in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In
this study, we realized a comparative analysis of the phospholipid profile and phospholipid …

Little is known about the molecular mechanisms of ceramide-mediated cellular signaling.
We examined the effects of palmitoyl ceramide (C16-ceramide) and stearoyl ceramide (C18 …

Our knowledge on the asymmetric distribution of sphingomyelin (SM) in the plasma
membrane is largely based on the biochemical analysis of erythrocytes using …

Lung cancer (LC) incidence and mortality continue to increase annually worldwide. LC is
insidious and readily metastasizes and relapses. Except for its early diagnosis and surgical …

deoxy-sphingolipids, also known as atypical sphingolipids, are directly implicated in the
development and progression of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 1 and …
