This well-worn copy of “Lipidoses: Diseases of the intracellular lipid metabolism” by Siegfried Thannhauser is a testament to its importance in the field of lipid research. Published in 1958, this third edition was a pioneering work that shed light on the complex world of lipid metabolism disorders, a subject that was relatively unexplored at the time. Thannhauser’s groundbreaking research laid the foundation for our understanding of lipid storage diseases, such as Gaucher’s disease and Niemann-Pick disease, which were once considered medical mysteries. Despite its age and wear, this book remains a valuable resource for researchers, medical professionals, and collectors interested in the history of lipid metabolism research. The visible signs of use on this copy speak to its significance as a well-thumbed reference, likely pored over by countless students and researchers seeking to unravel the intricate mechanisms of these rare and complex disorders.
