A coordinated approach using biochemical and immunological tools has given us a better understanding of the structure of the eukaryotic surface membrane.  Meer

It was a warm, sunny morning in Rehovot. The sky was c1ear as it always is in June. As I walked to the Institute that morning, too many cars were passing by, too many people were hurrying onto the Institute's grounds.  Meer

The aim of this book is to bring together in one volume the current research and thought on the concept of membrane fluidity as a biological phenomenon.  Meer

It has become increasingly clear during the last few years that metabolic processes in plant, bacterial, and mammalian cells can no longer be thought of as taking place in a homogeneous intracellular phase.  Meer

This volume contains the contributions to a symposium held at Gatlinburg, Tennessee, under the auspices of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, in April, 1971.  Meer

Not many years ago, problems of membranes and transport attracted the attention of but a few dozen enthusiasts, mainly physiolo­ gists who recognize~ the significance of membranes for the stabilization of the general steady state of organisms.  Meer

It might be asked if there is a need for yet another large review on Intestinal Absorption, and the answer is that this is still a rapidly expanding field of interest both from the medical and scientific points of view.  Meer

Molecular transport of substances in the presence or absence of membranes is an ubiquitous phenomenon. Research workers from various disciplines in the biological and phys­ ical sciences are actively pursuing problems of transport.  Meer

Both science and religion are aspects of human endeavor that do not observe political constraints. It is therefore appropriate that contributions should come from many different countries for a series which attempts to chronicle developments in an interdisciplinary field such as membrane research.  Meer

The most valuable service Dr. Gel'man and her colleagues have performed for the many investigators of bacterial membrane systems in producing their first excellent monograph on "The Respiratory Apparatus of Bacteria" in 1966 has been continued and expanded in the preparation of this volume.  Meer
