Targeting the homeodomain of ceramide-synthase can ameliorate insulin resistance

Christian Vera-Granda, Mariangela Sociale, Konstantin Beckschäfer…·Reinhard Bauer

The paper shows that mutations in the CerS homeodomain can either worsen or improve insulin resistance in Drosophila under high sugar diet conditions.

Lipid Disbalance Affects Neuronal Dendrite Growth and Maintenance in a Human Ceramide Synthase Disease Model

Anna B. Ziegler, Cedrik Wesselmann, Konstantin Beckschäfer…·Gaia Tavosanis

The paper shows that lipid imbalances in a Drosophila model of PME8 cause dendrite loss and that restoring specific ceramides while reducing bioactive lipids rescues the phenotype.
