Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book provides in-depth descriptions of tumor and gene therapies, focusing on cationic liposomes. … The book presents the most seminal studies on the application of liposomes in the pharmaceutical area published over the past two decades. … the content provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the topic and constitutes essential reading for those working or intending to work in the development of drug nanocarriers.” (Nádia Araci Bou Chacra, Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Vol. 46 (4), October-December, 2010)
“Provide a comprehensive guide to the preparation, characterisation, and potential use of currently known types of liposomes. They are written using an interdisciplinary approach, and so provide essential knowledge of liposomes, for not only researchers in this particular field, but also scientists in wider pharmaceutical and biological areas. … very inspiring – the potential for liposomes is immense – and these well-written chapters ignited notions of further applications – this is clearly a very exciting field.” (Trudy L. Knight, BTS Newsletter, Issue 37, Winter, 2010)Editors and Affiliations
