Ceramides are involved in a variety of cellular processes and in disease. Their biological
functions are thought to depend on ceramides' unique biophysical properties, which
promote strong alterations of cell membrane properties and consequent triggering of
signaling events. Over the last decades, efforts were made to understand the impact of
ceramide on membrane biophysical features. Several studies, performed in a multitude of
membrane models, address ceramides' specific interactions, the effect of their acyl chain …
