Sphingosine (Sph) is emerging as an intracellular regulator of cellular differentiation and apoptosis (Ohta, et al., Cancer Res., 55, 691-697, 1995). We have recently found that both Sph and its methylated derivative N,N-dimethylsphingosine (DMS) inhibit mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity

The natural product D-erythro-sphingosine and synthetic racemic dihydrosphingosines were examined for their abilities to self-assemble into high-axial-ratio microstructures. When precipitated from methanol/water solution, D-erythro-sphingosine formed a viscoelastic gel composed of 50-nm diameter flexible fibers. These are 'cochleate cylinders' composed of

Surfactants during routine washing have a tremendous effect on lipid loss from hair. This study aims to understand the loss of lipids from hair upon contact with surfactants and develop a way to prevent the lipid loss. The change in

The sphingolipids are a diverse family of lipids with important roles in membrane compartmentalization, intracellular signaling, and cell-cell recognition. The central sphingolipid metabolite is ceramide, formed by the transfer of a variable length fatty acid from coenzyme A to a
