      Lipids are the cell’s hydrophobic metabolites, and their self-assembly into bilayers creates membranes that are critical barriers and organizing platforms in cells. Lipids are a chemically diverse set of biological molecules subject to rapid metabolism and transport, and this dynamic behavior has motivated the development of methods across multiple disciplines for their detection and manipulation. Split into three parts, the Volumes on Lipids and Membranes provide a broad snapshot of the state of the art of methods for studying biological lipids and biomembranes. This part focuses on methods for lipid detection both by lipidomics-based mass spectrometry and by imaging, including both small-molecule and genetically encoded probes.
