Dihydroceramide desaturase promotes the formation of intraluminal vesicles and inhibits autophagy to increase exosome production

Summary: Exosomes are important for cell–cell communication. Deficiencies in the human dihydroceramide desaturase gene, DEGS1, increase the dihydroceramide-to-ceramide ratio and cause hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. However, the disease mechanism remains unknown. Here, we developed an in vivo assay...
