Liposomes as Tools in Basic Research and Industry (1994)

Focusing on less common applications, this book provides a broader understanding of liposomes as a versatile tool used in many domains, including basic research and applied technology. After defining the main characteristic of lipsomes, the book gives readers an overview of most nonphospholipid and phosolipid-modified molecules used in liposome preparation; a detailed description of liposome preparation and uses at the industrial level; and a discussion of important uses of lipsomes in basic research. It provides an extensive analysis of selected liposome technologies such as ligand-coupling to liposome, cationic amphiphile preparation, and use of liposomes in nuclear medicine.
