Opis

Liposomes are cellular structures made up of lipid molecules, which are water insoluble organic molecules and the basis of biological membranes. Important as a cellular model in the study of basic biology, liposomes are also used in clinical applications such as drug delivery and virus studies. Liposomes Part F is a continuation of previous MIE Liposome volumes A through E.

* One of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry since 1955 * Frequently consulted and praised by researchers and reviewers alike * Truly an essential publication for anyone in any field of the life sciences
