FEBS Letters Lipid Biology Virtual Special IssueFEBS Letters is proud to launch a new series of Virtual Special Issues which will highlight a collection of outstanding articles recently published in the journal, focusing on a selection of topics that we hope will be of general interest to our readers. As the topic for our next Virtual Special Issue we chose Lipid Biology. FEBS Letters has a strong tradition in this field, and this virtual special issue will complement the comprehensive collection of reviews regarding lipids published in the journal as Special Issues or "Focus on…" series. We have selected high quality research letters or reviews that were not previously part of a special edition, published in FEBS Letters over the last two years. What is most fascinating about lipids is the diversity of functions that they can have. Whether we may like it or not, lipids are a vital component of all living organisms. Lipids constitute an essential source of energy via metabolic pathways that are object of intense studies, due to the high incidence of metabolic dysfunctions in modern times. Lipids also have unique structural and biophysical properties, which make them fundamental components of biological membranes. More recently, lipids have been shown to be important signalling molecules, with functions ranging from apoptotic to hormonal signals. Depending on the cell type, lipids can have an even wider range of physiological or pathological functions.
