Sphingolipids (SL), a class of membrane lipids, play important roles in numerous biological processes. Their significant structural diversity poses challenges for accurate quantification. To address this, liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has emerged as a powerful tool for sphingolipidomics, capable of profiling these lipids comprehensively.

Sphingolipids are the most diverse class of lipids due to the numerous variations in their structural components. This diversity is also reflected in their extremely different functions. Sphingolipids are not only constituents of cell membranes but have emerged as key signaling molecules involved in a variety of cellular functions, such as cell growth and differentiation, proliferation and apoptotic cell death.

Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and permanent disability in the world. Rapid diagnosis and intervention are crucial for reducing its consequences on individuals and societies. Therefore, identifying reliable biomarkers for early detection, prognostics, and therapy can facilitate the early prediction and prevention of stroke.

Cellulose is an abundant component of plant cell wall matrices, and this para-crystalline polysaccharide is synthesized at the plasma membrane by motile Cellulose Synthase Complexes (CSCs). However, the factors that control CSC activity and motility are not fully resolved. In a targeted chemical screen, we identified the alkylated nojirimycin analog N-Dodecyl Deoxynojirimycin (ND-DNJ) as a small molecule that severely impacts Arabidopsis seedling growth.

Background: Growing evidence correlated changes in bioactive sphingolipids, particularly S1P (sphingosine-1-phosphate) and ceramides, with coronary artery diseases. Furthermore, specific plasma ceramide species can predict major cardiovascular events. Dysfunction of the endothelium lining lesion-prone areas plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis.
