Abstract
Several substantial differences in lipid composition of biomembranes have been found between normal and neoplastic tissues. The biomembranes of many types of cancer cells exhibit an increase of the cholesterol-to-phospholipid ratio, a decrease of the lipid-to-protein ratio and a decrease in polyunsaturated fatty acid content, as compared to those of normal cells.
