The increasing prevalence of cancer, a disease in which rapid and uncontrollable cell
growth causes complication and tissue dysfunction, is one of the serious and tense concerns …

Since their discovery in the 1960s, liposomes have been studied in depth, and they continue
to constitute a field of intense research. Liposomes are valued for their biological and …

The cellular membrane constitutes one of the most fundamental compartments of a living
cell, where key processes such as selective transport of material and exchange of …

Large unilamellar and oligolamellar vesicles are formed when an aqueous buffer is
introduced into a mixture of phospholipid and organic solvent and the organic solvent is …

When antibiotics are administered, orally or intravenously, they pass through different
organs and layers of tissue on their way to the site of infection; this can cause dilution and/or …

There are a number of methods that can be used for the preparation of enzyme-containing
lipid vesicles (liposomes) which are lipid dispersions that contain water-soluble enzymes in …

This article describes the properties, production and characterization of liposomes with
special reference to their use as membrane model for the study of lipid peroxidation. It …

Freeze-fracture electron microscopy was used to study the morphological changes occurring
following the addition of Ca 2+ to sonicated preparations of phosphatidylserine in aqueous …

The mammalian CNS is separated from the blood by tight junctions, collectively termed the
blood–brain barrier (BBB). This imposes unique features of solvent and water movement …

Liposomes can be prepared by a combination of reverse phase evaporation and sequential
extrusion through polycarbonate membranes. The vesicles have diameters in the range 0.05 …
