A broad overview of recent progress in membrane fusion research, treating the subject from the fields of biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, virology, and biotechnology.
This balanced volume provides a broad and coherent overview of recent progress in membrane fusion research—highlighting an interdisciplinary treatment of the subject from the fields of biophysics, biochemistry, cell biology, virology, and biotechnology—in a single volume., Featuring easy-access sections on the general properties of membranes and applications of membrane fusion techniques, this valuable sourcebook outlines membrane structure, lipid polymorphism, and intermembrane forces ... covers membrane fusion in model systems ... presents the fusogenic properties of enveloped viruses ... discusses the fusion and flow of intracellular membranes and cell-cell fusion occurring during fertilization and myogenesis ... offers applications of membrane fusion techniques in cell-biological research and biotechnology ... and more., Supplying a comprehensive view of this exciting topic, Membrane Fusion is a working resource for molecular, cell, and membrane biologists; biophysicists; biochemists; virologists; biotechnologists; microbiologists; immunologists; physiologists; and graduate and medical school students in biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, virology, cell biology, and biotechnology.

JAN WILSCHUT is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiological Chemistry, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands. The author or coauthor of over 60 scientific journal articles and book chapters, his research interests include the structure and function of membranes, virus-cell interactions, and liposome-based vaccine development. He received the B.Sc. degree (1970) in chemistry and M.Sc. degree (1973) in biochemistry and immunology from the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, and Ph.D. degree (1978) in biochemistry from the University of Groningen., DICK HOEKSTRA is an Associate Professor of Physiological Chemistry, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands. The author of several publications on the development of kinetic fluorescence assays to monitor membrane fusion, fusion mechanisms of artificial and biological membranes, and intracellular membrane flow and (glyco-)lipid trafficking, he is a member of the Scientific Board of the Dutch Society for Multiple Sclerosis Research. He received the M.Sc. degree (1976) in biochemistry and Ph.D. degree (1980) in physiological chemistry from the University of Groningen.
