Sphingolipids in Disease

Sphingolipids are lipid components of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells with an important function in signaling mechanisms in the cell. This� book provides insight into the physiological and pathophysiological role of sphingolipids and in particular its derivative ceramide. The function of Sph...
