Abstract

En 中文
Recent studies emphasize that lipid synthesis, metabolism, and transport are crucial in modulating lipid function, underscoring the significance of lipid localization within the cell, in addition to their chemical structure. Ceramides stand out in this context because of their multifaceted roles in cellular processes. Here, we focus on the role of ceramides in apoptosis, senescence, and autophagy as these processes offer unique and contrasting perspectives on how ceramides function and can be intricately linked to their subcellular localization, providing critical insights into their complex biological interactions. Additionally, we highlight recent advancements in tools and techniques that have boosted our understanding of ceramide dynamics and different mechanisms of lipid functioning.
