This chapter will summarize recent information on cell membranes. Their structure, functions and the role of the various components are discussed, considering both their physiological tasks, such as mechanisms of drug internalization into cells, as well as membrane changes associated with or caused by particular disease states. Later chapters will discuss the possibility of testing biomembrane models to study their interaction with drugs and biological compounds.

Abstract
This chapter will summarize recent information on cell membranes. Their structure, functions and the role of the various components are discussed, considering both their physiological tasks, such as mechanisms of drug internalization into cells, as well as membrane changes associated with or caused by particular disease states. Later chapters will discuss the possibility of testing biomembrane models to study their interaction with drugs and biological compounds.File in questo prodotto:
