Inhibition of ceramide synthesis improves the outcome of ischemia/reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell

Summary

Results from both in vitro and in vivo experiments show that ceramides have a significant role in either mediating or inducing damage to CMs. Additionally, in vitro findings show that ceramide reduction improves the outcome of IR injury by lowering intracellular Ca2+ [Ca2+]i concentration and improves mitochondrial function changes during IR. © 2025.
