Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue on ceramides and ceramide kinase is to provide readers with the most up-to-date knowledge on the regulation of cell signaling and metabolism by ceramides and ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P). Special attention will be paid to studies related to the implication of ceramides and C1P in diseases and how targeting these two major bioactive sphingolipids, or the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and degradation, may serve to reduce or overcome metabolic dysregulation. Ceramides and C1P are involved in a great variety of illnesses, including low-grade inflammation associated with obesity and insulin resistance, chronic inflammatory diseases, neurological diseases, and cancer cell growth and dissemination, among others. The most recent therapeutic approaches to treat these pathologies are highlighted and discussed in this Special Issue.
