Glucosylceramide synthase is required for C6-ceramide nanoliposome-induced organelle stress and cell death

Luke R. Vass, Ella Weber Smith, Jayda Marie Cavanaugh, Summer Lee Johnson, Ariana Sabzevari, Pedro Costa‐Pinheiro, Jeremy J.P. Shaw, Thomas P. Loughran, Todd E. Fox

This study shows that glucosylceramide synthase inhibition protects cells from ceramide nanoliposome-induced death by preventing glycosphingolipid accumulation.
