Challenging a role for ceramide channels and microdomains in apoptosis induction using a bottom-up approach

Milena Wessing, Sophie Klaßen, Britta Fiedler, Katia Cosentino, Joost C. M. Holthuis

This study challenges models of ceramide-induced apoptosis by showing ceramides cannot form channels or substitute for cardiolipin in Bax pore formation.
