This book provides the first comprehensive coverage of the quickly
evolving research field of membrane contact sites (MCS). A total of
16 chapters explain their organization and role and unveil the
significance of MCS for various diseases. MCS, the intracellular
structures where organellar membranes come in close contact with
one another, mediate the exchange of proteins, lipids, and ions.
Via these functions, MCS are critical for the survival and the
growth of the cell. Owing to that central role in the functioning
of cells, MCS dysfunctions lead to important defects of human
physiology, influence viral and bacterial infection, and cause
disease such as inflammation, type II diabetes, neurodegenerative
disorders, and cancer. To approach such a multifaceted topic, this
volume assembles a series of chapters dealing with the full array
of research about MCS and their respective roles for diseases. Most
chapters also introduce the history and the state of the art of MCS
research, which will initiate discussion points for the respective
types of MCS for years to come. This work will appeal to all cell
biologists as well as researchers on diseases that are impacted by
MCS dysfunction. Additionally, it will stimulate graduate students
and postdocs who will energize, drive, and develop the research
field in the near future.
