Description
Includes a broad overview on the role of lipids as structural components of membranes, energy storage molecules, and signaling molecules.
Covers lipids in signaling and the role of lipids in everyday life, from diet and health to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Discusses applications in nanotechnology and biomedicine, including liposomes in drug discovery, lipids for in vivo therapeutics, lipid-based sensors, artificial biointerfaces, and synthetic polymers.
Includes an exciting section that explores the practical use of Archae lipids, lipids and the origins of life, and future outlook for the field.
