Scientific Background | Dihydroceramide is a precursor in the ceramide biosynthesis pathway and plays a key role in sphingolipid metabolism. In neuroscience, dihydroceramide has gained attention for its involvement in cellular stress responses, apoptosis, and autophagy—processes that are dysregulated in neurodegenerative diseases. Altered levels of dihydroceramide have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in neuronal cells. Its role in modulating membrane dynamics and signaling pathways makes it a valuable molecule for studying lipid-mediated mechanisms in neurodegeneration and brain aging. |
