Editors:
- Addresses the fundamentals of sphingolipid metabolism and analysis, as well as the roles of sphingolipids in these disease processes
- Features findings that sphingolipids may regulate cholesterol homeostasis through SREBP and lipid efflux
- Presents broad overviews of tissue-specific effects of sphingolipids, while emphasizing interrelatedness of cellular processes and cross-talk between organs

About the editor
L. Ashley Cowart obtained her BS in Biology in 1995 from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, and her PhD in Biochemistry in 2001 from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennesee. After postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Dr. Yusuf Hannun, she joined the faculty at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina, where she currently holds the position of Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Dr. Cowart’s main research focus is the regulation of sphingolipid metabolism in diabetes and obesity and the roles of sphingolipids in pathological outcomes associated with these disorders. In addition to research, she is involved with graduate admissions and education.
