Joanna Dylewska-Grzelakowska. Ceramidy. Ceramidy są naturalnym składnikiem naskórka o zasadniczym wpływie na jego strukturę. Są to lipidy należące do sfingoli- pidów, stanowiące ok. 40% cementu międzykomórkowego spajającego korneocyty1 ...

In this book, exciting new approaches that open a window to further characterize sphingolipid-enriched domains in cell membranes during both physiological and pathological processes are reviewed.

This is the first volume specifically devoted to ceramide signalling, and will act as an invaluable resource for basic and medical researchers and graduate students wishing to get a state of the art overview of this rapidly moving field.

Written by leading investigators in these areas of study, this book presents a thorough, current and accessible review of how sphingolipids function to regulate these important activities.

In the first part basic functions of sphingolipids are described, as well as the genetics of important enzymes, sphingolipid metabolism and synthesis. The second part of this first volume focuses on drug development and pharmacology.
