This book is devoted to a broader understanding of liposomes as a versatile tool used in many domains, including basic research and applied technology, focusing on less common applications and recent developments.
Over the past few years, new types of liposomes made of nonphospholipid molecules have opened new perspectives in applications. These lipid vesicles, already used in cosmetology, are being manufactured for industrial and agricultural uses. However, "Stealth" liposomes, pH-sensitive liposomes, and cationic liposomes have enlarged and improved the application field of liposomes in clinical research. The book covers these different uses of liposomes with particular attention to new formulations and new applications.

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.
