Sphingomyelin (SM) is a dominant sphingolipid in membranes of mammalian cells and this
lipid class is specifically enriched in the plasma membrane, the endocytic recycling …

Members of the highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed pleiotropic CK1 family play
major regulatory roles in many cellular processes including DNA-processing and repair …

Autophagy is considered primarily a cell survival process, although it can also lead to cell
