Résumé
Sphingolipids are a fundamental class of molecules that are involved in structural, organizational and signaling properties of eukaryotic membranes. Defects in their production or disposal lead to acquired and inherited human diseases. A growing community of scientists has embraced the challenge to dissect different aspects of sphingolipid biology using a variety of approaches, and a substantial part of this community met last May in the beautiful town of Cascais in Portugal. Over 200 scientists from 26 countries animated the conference, held in a 15th century citadel, sharing their data and opinions on the current understanding and future challenges in sphingolipid research. Here, we report some of their contributions to provide the readers with a bird's-eye view of the themes discussed at the meeting.
