Contribution of sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3B to the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. [PDF]
Cancer has the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers and poses a serious threat to women's lives. However, the treatment options for ovarian cancer are still limited, and exploring effective targeted biomarkers is particularly important for predicting and treating ovarian cancer.

Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 methylation and silencing in oral squamous cell carcinoma results in increased migration and invasion and altered stress response. [PDF]
Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2), the product of the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 (SMPD3) gene, catalyzes the hydrolysis of sphingomyelin to ceramide. Ceramide acts on various signaling pathways to influence cell proliferation, survival, and stress response.

Sphingomyelin in Human Breast Milk might be Essential for the Hippocampus Maturation
Background: It has been established that sphingomyelin present human breast milk is useful for the brain maturation and cognitive development. At 10 days of breastfeeding the sphingomyelin content is double that present in cow’s milk and its content is ...
