In the last decade, research on platelet-activating factor (PAF) has expanded exponentially. Previous conferences on PAF in Paris, 1983, and the subsequent conferences in Gatlinburg, Ten- nessee, Tokyo, Snowbird, Utah, and Berlin, at three-yearly intervals, have chronicled the devel- opments in the field ofPAF. This volume records the proceedings of the Fifth International Con- gress on PAF and Related Lipid Mediators, held at the Free University Medical Hospital Ben- jamin Franklin in Berlin, from September 12-16, 1995. We are very much indebted to Free Uni- versity Berlin for providing...

Lipids traditionally have been viewed as serving two functions: to form cellular membranes and to serve as energy stores. During the last two decades, a new role for lipids has taken center stage: lipids can act as signalling molecules. This book deals with a variety of lipids that have been shown to be messengers. Leading scientists explore all known lipid classes except steroid hormones. Researchers and educators in biochemistry as well as in molecular and cellular biology will appreciate this volume.
