Describes the properties of cellular membranes and their relationship with fundamental
biological processes. This book provides insight on the chemistry structures model systems
and techniques employed for studying membrane properties and processes. A major focus is on the
prominence of membranes in diverse physiological processes and disease as well as applications
of membranes and biomimetic membrane systems in varied disciplines. The book aims to illuminate
the significance and beauty of membrane science and serve both as an entry point for scholars
wishing to embark on membrane research as well as scientists already working in the field.
