Membrane Organization & Lipid Rafts in the Cell & Artificial Membranes

Angebote / Angebote:

This book presents an overview of membrane organisation and lipid rafts in the cell and artificial membranes. The topics analysed in this book cover a broad spectrum of functions played by lipid rafts in membrane organisation within the cell and artificial membranes, and presents new information in this area of research. The topics analysed include: fluid-mosaic cell membrane structure from cellular control and domains to extracellular vesicles, lipid rafts in binary lipid/cholesterol membranes, membrane assembly and lipid rafts in the cell and artificial membranes, the effect of lipid peroxidation, drugs, delivery systems and membrane organisation in model and cell membranes, role of sphingomyelin on membrane domain formation and its influence in protein interaction focusing on the nanometer scale, lipid rafts and cell adhesion, mutual modulators of cell signaling, and finally, roles of glycosphingolipids in the regulation of the membrane organisation and cell signaling in lipid rafts.
