Ceramides as Key Players in Cellular Stress Response.
The recent discovery of sphingolipid-derived second messengers that regulate fundamental cell responses such as cell growth and apoptosis has provided insight into the way cells sense and respond to stressful stimuli. This will help the understanding of the pathogenesis of stress-related diseases and eventually offer novel therapeutic approaches.
