Sphingolipids are bioactive molecules that have key roles in the regulation of cancer cell signalling to control tumour suppression or survival. Ceramide is a bioeffector molecule that mediates cell ...

Plasma ceramides and sphingomyelins with palmitic acid were linked to a 34% and 37% increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) per higher SD of log sphingolipid levels, respectively. After looking ...

Solving the Riddle of the Sphingolipids in Coronary Artery Disease Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have uncovered a way to unleash in blood vessels the protective effects of a type of fat-related ...

In a new study, the group of Johan Auwerx at EPFL's School of Life Sciences has made the first connection between muscular dystrophy and sphingolipids, a group of bioactive lipids. The study is ...

Excess cholesterol is known to form artery-clogging plaques that can lead to stroke, arterial disease, heart attack, and more, making it the focus of many heart health campaigns. Fortunately, this ...

Scientists have made a link between muscular dystrophy and a group of bioactive fats, the sphingolipids, which are involved in numerous cell functions and other diseases. In a new study, the group of ...
