The current understanding of cholesterol transport has moved from a largely descriptive science into the molecular stage. This text reports on the current state of research and features sections on: the regulation of ACAT and intracellular cholesterol level; Niemann-Pick Type C disease; chol esterol transport in specialized cells; sterol carrier protein-2 and cholesterol transport proteins; caveolae and caveolin; summary and future perspectives.

INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE FOR INTRACELLULAR CHOLESTEROL TRAFFICKING This volume is an elaboration of an earlier small meeting held in St. Louis, Missouri. In April 1997, many of the authors met for a two-day meeting devoted entirely to intracellular cholesterol trafficking. The rationale for this meeting was that investigators interested in this topic worked in a variety of fields, and rarely, if ever, all met together. Everybody knew each other's papers but mostly worked in isolation from one another. Understanding of cholesterol trafficking also appeared to have reached the point where it...
