Sphingolipids and waxes are important classes of lipids found in biological membranes, each with unique structures and functions. Sphingolipids, including sphingomyelins and glycosphingolipids, play crucial roles in nerve transmission, cell recognition, and tissue immunity. Waxes, on the other hand,

Lipids play a central role in signal molecule production for actively modifying the invasive capabilities of pathogens and the defensive mechanisms of plants during inter and intra-plant-pathogen interactions. They are essential constituents of membranes, providing structural support and serving div

Complex lipids play crucial roles in cellular structure and function. Glycerophospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, are amphipathic molecules with hydrophobic fatty acid chains and hydrophilic head groups. They are key components of cell membranes. Sphingolipids, including sphingomyelin and cer
