The book "Lipid Metabolism and Membrane Biogenesis" offers a comprehensive collection of review articles that illuminate the current state of lipid research. The authors present a detailed analysis of the biochemical, cell biological, and biophysical aspects of the four main groups of lipids in eukaryotic cells: glycerophospholipids, sterols, sphingolipids, and storage molecules. By examining experimental systems based on mammalian, plant, and yeast cells, it provides a deep understanding of the role of lipids in cell biochemistry and molecular biology. This textbook is aimed at scientists and students who wish to engage with the latest developments in lipid research.
