Download or read book Handbook of Nonmedical Applications of Liposomes, Vol IV From Gene Delivery and Diagnosis to Ecology written by Danilo D. Lasic and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-01-09 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liposomes have become an important model in fundamental biomembrane research, including biophysical, biochemical, and cell biological studies of membranes and cell function. They are thoroughly studied in applications, such as drug delivery systems in medical applications and as controlled release systems, microencapsulating media, signal carriers, support matrices, and solubilizers in other applications. While medical applications have been extensively reviewed in recent literature, there is a need for easily accessible information on applications for liposomes beyond pharmacology and medicine.
