Summary:

Membranes are the interface between individual cells, other cells, and the environment. The structure and function of membranes are complicated by the difficulties in directly observing activities that occur within and across cell membranes. Despite these difficulties, a great deal is known about how membranes work and what membranes can accomplish. This book is a complete review of the structure of membranes and how they function, especially as it concerns transport of materials into and out of cells. This is crucially important for any and all aspects of biomedical research. From antigen to zygote, practically everything in biology involves cells and cell membranes. Thus, this book will have wide appeal to students, faculty, and researchers.
