Membrane Shape and Biological Function

Editat de José Carlos Bozelli Jr, Richard M. Epand
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 mai 2025
Membrane Shape and Biological Function is an important guide for anyone interested in the dynamic world of biological membranes. The book explores how membrane shape influences crucial biological processes and highlights its practical applications. It delves into the mechanics of lipid bilayers, their role in cellular processes, and computational methods for understanding membrane remodeling, including real-world applications such as the Golgi apparatus' structure and function, the role of inositol phospholipids in cellular organization, membrane fusion in cell biology, and the potential of lipid bilayers in neuromorphic computing. This comprehensive resource is valuable for students, researchers, and anyone curious about membrane biology.
