A Comprehensive Review on the Interplay between <i>Neisseria</i> spp. and Host Sphingolipid Metabolites

Sphingolipids represent a class of structural related lipids involved in membrane biology and various cellular processes including cell growth, apoptosis, inflammation and migration. Over the past decade, sphingolipids have become the focus of intensive studies regarding their involvement in infecti...
