It is not a particularly rewarding task to engage in writing a book
on a subject which is undergoing a rapid and potentially
revolutionary develop ment, but, on the other hand, the
investigation of transport of substances into and out of cells has
reached a stage of maturity or at least of self realization and
this fact alone warrants a closer examination of the subject. No
one will doubt at present that the movement-mostly by selective
translocation-of substances, ranging from hydrogen ions to
deoxyribo nucleic acids, across the cell-surrounding barriers
represents one of the salient features of a living cell and that,
if we are permitted to go so far, the cessation of the selective
transport processes might be considered as the equivalent of cell
death. Hardly anybody will question the premise that cell and
tissue differentiation within the ontogenetic development of an
organism is closely associated with properties of the outer cell
face. Perhaps no serious scholar will attempt to refute the concept
that mem branes with characteristic morphology and composition
represent the ar chitectural framework for the whole cell. And
probably no experienced biologist will raise objections to the
belief that many physiological processes, like nervous impulse
conduction and other electrical phenomena of cells and tissues or
their volume changes, are associated with membrane-regulated shifts
of ions and molecules."
