Ceramide biosynthesis and metabolism in trophoblast syncytialization

Ceramide biosynthesis and metabolism in trophoblast syncytialization

Sphingolipid mediators such as ceramide are pleiotropic regulators of cellular growth, differentiation and apoptosis. We investigated the role of ceramide biosynthesis, metabolism and actions in term human cytotrophoblasts syncytialized over 7 days in culture. Intracellular C16 ceramide levels incre...
