Abstract
Since its discovery in the 19th century, phosphatidylcholine (PC) has been regarded primarily as a structural lipid. However, more recent evidence, much of it in the last five years, strongly suggests that PC has other roles. Here, we explore some of that new evidence and consider the possibility that the ultimate role of phosphatidylcholine may not be predictable.

Molecular Membrane Biology provides a forum for high quality research that serves to advance knowledge in molecular aspects of biological membrane structure and function. The journal welcomes submissions of original research papers and reviews in the following areas:
• Membrane receptors and signalling
• Membrane transporters, pores and channels
• Synthesis and structure of membrane proteins
• Membrane translocation and targeting
• Lipid organisation and asymmetry
• Model membranes
• Membrane trafficking
• Cytoskeletal and extracellular membrane interactions
• Cell adhesion and intercellular interactions
• Molecular dynamics and molecular modelling of membranes.
• Antimicrobial peptides.
