Liposomes: A Practical Approach (The ^APractical Approach Series)

Book Overview

Over the last twenty years, liposomes, useful models for cell membranes, have become a powerful research tool whose study has resulted in many advances in cell physiology. This conveniently spiral-bound handbook covers many of these industrial and medical applications. The "hands-on" treatment includes information on liposome structure, tailoring liposomes to specific applications, the handling of lipids, active loading, purification, and chemical analysis and characterization. The book is fully illustrated, and readers will find step-by-step instruction on fluorescence techniques, instrumentation, interactions of liposomes with cells, using markers to determine the fate of liposome components, and retrieval of liposome components.
