The Role of Sulfatides in Liver Health and Disease by Lin Chen, Montserrat Elizalde, Gloria Alvarez-Sola

“…We have recently demonstrated how loss of function of GAL3ST1, a limiting enzyme involved in sulfatide synthesis, reduces tumorigenic capacity in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells. The biological function of sulfatides in the liver is still unclear; however, this review aims to summarize the existing findings on the topic.…”
