Mammalian Cell Membranes, Volume Two: The Diversity of Membranes is a collection of reviews focusing on to specific types of intra- and extracellular membranes. The compendium contains 10 contributions devoted to the review of mammalian cell membranes. The topics covered in the book include the organization of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells, membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and the secretory system and their role in plasma membrane regulation, and the structure of mitochondrial membranes. The nuclear envelope in mammalian cells, the myelin sheath, and the microvilli and cilia are also discussed. Cytologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and anatomists will find the book very useful.
