Functional loss of two ceramide synthases elicits autophagy-dependent lifespan extension in C. elegans.

Ceramide and its metabolites constitute a diverse group of lipids, which play important roles as structural entities of biological membranes as well as regulators of cellular growth, differentiation, and development. The C. elegans genome comprises three ceramide synthase genes; hyl-1, hyl-2, and la...
