Long-chain ceramides are cell non-autonomous signals linking lipotoxicity to endoplasmic reticulum stress in skeletal muscle

Endoplasmic Reticulum stress induces cell non-autonomous Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) activation. Here the authors show that long-chain ceramides are secreted from muscle cells in extracellular vesicles and induce cell non-autonomous UPR activation in muscle cells in response to lipotoxcity.
