Founding, early history, and transformation of the Journal of Lipid Research to an American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology journal

Abstract

The Journal of Lipid Research was founded in October, 1959 and has had a long and distinguished history. It evolved from an initial concept of a loose-leaf methodology handbook to a major journal for the lipid field. Its growth has in many ways paralleled the growth and expansion of lipid research. Today, it is operated as a journal of the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the forefront of biomedical research on lipids.Copyright ©2009 by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
