Cell lipids
Topics on cell lipids vary from basic themes such as biosynthesis and membrane distribution to the role of lipids in intracellular signalling and membrane flow. This single volume also highlights the roles of lipids in eukaryotic cells and discusses organization of lipids in microdomains.
