      Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease presents a comprehensive and systematic coverage of the various roles lipids play in human biology. This book is organized in four parts covering the foundational concepts of lipid biology all the way to the therapeutic opportunities they present. The first part is dedicated to the basic concepts of cellular lipid, the roles it plays in the cell, structure and physiology, regulation mechanisms, storage, and utilization. The second part is focused on lipid metabolism, covering the organelles involved in lipid trafficking, metabolism in aging, cholesterol homeostasis, lipid droplets (LDs), and lipid oxidation. Part three is dedicated to the roles lipids play in specific disease states including renal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and fatty liver diseases. Other conditions include cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and the intricate relationship between cellular lipids and autophagy. The final part covers therapeutic opportunities, including drug carrier systems, modeling lipid metabolism, and prevention therapeutics. Cellular Lipid in Health and Disease is a complete reference targeted at graduate students and early career researchers in cell biology, biochemistry, and pharmacology. Research physicians can also benefit from the foundational content and links to pathologies and therapeutic opportunities.

      Advances in Biomembranes and Lipid Self-Assembly, formerly titled Advances in Planar Lipid Bilayers and Liposomes, provides a global platform for a broad community of experimental and theoretical researchers studying cell membranes, lipid model membranes, and lipid self-assemblies from the micro- to the nanoscale. Planar lipid bilayers are widely studied due to their ubiquity in nature and find their application in the formulation of biomimetic model membranes, and in the design of artificial dispersion of liposomes. Moreover, lipids self-assemble into a wide range of other structures, including micelles and the liquid crystalline hexagonal and cubic phases. Consensus has been reached that curved membrane phases do play an important role in nature as well, especially in dynamic processes, such as vesicles fusion and cell communication. Self-assembled lipid structures have enormous potential as dynamic materials ranging from artificial lipid membranes to cell membranes, from biosensing to controlled drug delivery, from pharmaceutical formulations to novel food products to mention a few. An assortment of chapters in this volume represents both original research as well as comprehensive reviews written by world leading experts and young researchers.

      The Biochemistry of Plants: A Comprehensive Treatise, Volume 9: Lipids: Structure and Function focuses on the advancements in the methodologies, principles, techniques, and technologies involved in plant lipid research. The selection first elaborates on the analysis and structure determination of acyl lipids, oxidative systems for modification of fatty acids, and lipases. Topics include lipid acyl hydrolases, properties of the lipoxygenase reaction, metabolism of the hydroperoxide products of lipoxygenase, physical and chemical methods of structure determination, and chromatographic methods of separation. The manuscript then examines the biosynthesis of saturated fatty acids, biochemistry of plant acyl carrier proteins, and biosynthesis of monoenoic and polyenoic fatty acids. Discussions focus on polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and regulation, molecular biology, and immunological characterization of acyl carrier proteins. The publication ponders on lipids of blue-green algae, lipid-derived defensive polymers and waxes and their role in plant-microbe interaction, sulfolipids, and galactolipid synthesis. The selection is a vital source of information for researchers interested in the structure and functions of lipids.
