Summary

This book is a definitive reference manual for the field of lysophospholipid signaling. Lysophospholipids represent a new area from which novel medicines could arise, and this book provides readers with a central source of valuable information to better understand this exciting topic and its relevance to medically important areas. With the inclusion of methodologies, and by highlighting disease relevance, the usefulness to scientists and students alike broadens. Written by world authorities in the field, the book is timely as excitment for this field grows, with chapters discussing the basic biochemistry of lysophospholipids as well as medically relevant aspects of receptor-mediated lysophospholipid signaling in applications such as cardiology, respiratory, reproductive, immunological, muscoskeletal, dermatological, gastrointestinal, nervous system disorders as well as other organ disorders and conditions
