Lipospheres in Drug Targets and Delivery: Approaches, Methods, and Applications presents an overview of the most recent applications of lipospheres primarily in the field of medicine, pharmaceutics and biotechnology. Included are chapters on preparation, characterization, delivery (of peptides, proteins, vaccines, nucleic acids) therapeutic applications to different systems and suggestions for further research. Including numerous illustrations, tables and photos, this book provides procedures for specific applications and biological systems and shows lipospheres as a technical solution to various problems associated with controlled release of biochemicals.
