Our view of lipids within the cell has evolved from a concept of passive, homogeneous, inert structural elements organized into bilayers to a much more dynamic one. We now understand that membrane lipids undergo remodeling, their composition can change substantially in response to environmental triggers, they are a source of numerous critical signaling molecules, and their remodeling within a lipid bilayer can effect dramatic changes in the biophysical properties of that membrane. In the heart, membrane integrity is critical to electrical excitability, ion homeostasis, and mitochondrial function, whereas lipid-signaling molecules regulate many aspects of cardiac function and stress tolerance. Moreover, environmental stresses in the form of ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes, and dietary deficiencies/excesses can modify cardiac membrane lipids and their metabolites, leading to significant effects on cardiac function.Researchers are making significant inroads into lipid biology, with a growing appreciation of the enzymology, regulation, and genetics that modulate diverse aspects of lipid metabolism, yet therapeutic interventions are in their infancy. In recognition of the growing body of knowledge, the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology has assembled a series of review articles summarizing our current state of knowledge of some of the most rapidly developing aspects of lipid biology. The first 2 reviews appear in this issue, followed by 3 more in next month’s issue, and provide in-depth discussions of lipid signaling and remodeling. I am pleased to have served as guest editor for this review series, and I am deeply grateful to the superb authors who have prepared thoughtful and comprehensive reviews on this exciting topic.
