title: [Ceramide pathway].
abstract: Ceramide may be generated from many metabolism routes. As a novel second messenger, ceramide plays important roles in a variety of physiologic or pathologic events relating to cellular growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and injuries. It is expected that new insights into the ceramide pathway would promote our understanding of the complex mechanisms for signal transduction.
