Lipids are the major component of cell and organelle membranes. They are essential for maintaining cell integrity and defining distinct subcellular compartments but also play important roles in a variety of other cellular processes. Membrane fission and fusion and movement of lipid-enveloped vesicles underlie the majority of protein trafficking in cells and are critical for the function of synapses in the nervous system. In addition, lipids participate in numerous signaling pathways that connect cell-surface receptors with intracellular effectors.

Glia represent the majority of cells in the nervous system. Originally believed to be passive cells that support the neurons that transmit electrical signals, glial cells are now known to play a far more active part in neural development and function than previously appreciated. Written and edited by experts in the field, this new collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology examines recent progress in our understanding of the major classes of glial cells -- astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and microglia.

Cell Signaling provides undergraduate and graduate students with the conceptual tools needed to make sense of the dizzying array of pathways that cells use to detect, process, and respond to signals from the environment. By emphasizing the common design principles and molecular processes that underlie all signaling mechanisms, the book develops a broad conceptual framework through which students can understand diverse signaling pathways and networks.
