Industry Reviews

"... well written and useful chapters."
Natural Cell Biology

"This is a book that will be useful to everyone interested in membrane biophysics. The chapters highlight the many unanswered questions in the field and detail some work that should be done in the future. Perhaps this book will stimulate more of us to get involved in the development of novel experimental methods and to continue trying to answer the critical unanswered questions." ChemBioChem

"... a timely summary of our current picture of the raft concept ... clarifies some misunderstood ideas."
Future Medicine

"In conclusion, this book is a delightful mix of structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology and medicine. All researchers in biomedicine with an interest in membrane biology will find this book both informative and an excellent point of reference. Its acquisition would provide a valuable addition to the bookshelves of all who purchase it."
