Overview: In the past few years, the scientific community has witnessed significant progress in the study of ion channels. Technological advancement in biophysics, molecular biology, and immunology has been greatly ac­ celerated, making it possible to conduct experiments which were deemed very difficult if not impossible in the past. For example, patch-clamp techniques can now be used to measure ionic currents generated by almost every type of cell, thereby allowing us to analyze whole-cell and single­ channel events. It is now possible to incorporate purified ion channel components into lipid

Overview: It might be asked if there is a need for yet another large review on Intestinal Absorption, and the answer is that this is still a rapidly expanding field of interest both from the medical and scientific points of view. There is ample evidence for this in the number of papers which continue to be published, and the bul­ letin on Intestinal Absorption issued by the Biomedical Infor­ mation Project of the University of Sheffield lists about 150 titles per month, and there is still no sign of any diminution in this rate. There are in fact so many papers that those interested in intestin
