Liposomes in Drug Delivery: A Comprehensive Guide

Liposomes are a promising technology in drug delivery, and understanding how to harness their potential is crucial for researchers in various disciplines. “Liposomes in Drug Delivery: What, Where, How and When to Deliver” is a concise and well-structured reference that covers all the essential aspects of liposomes, providing practical information to help researchers determine if liposomes are suitable for their specific therapeutic or bio-active substance.

Organized into four parts, this book provides a comprehensive overview of liposomes, starting with the fundamentals. The first part delves into what liposomes are, their types, advantages, and disadvantages, as well as their stability, characterization methods, in vitro stability, and in vivo fate after different administration methods (routes).

Mechanisms for Liposomal Drug Delivery

The second part focuses on the various mechanisms for liposomal drug delivery, including methodologies and technologies for manipulating liposome structure and properties to design liposomes for specific delivery applications. The authors provide specific roadmaps for liposome design, discussing the components to incorporate in liposomes for specific types of encapsulated molecules or specific routes of administration.

Liposome Applications for Drug Delivery

The third part explores liposome applications for drug delivery, focusing on specific delivery considerations for particular diseases. This section provides valuable insights for researchers working on targeted drug delivery systems.

Liposome Fabrication Methods

The fourth and final part of the book covers methods of liposome fabrication, providing a detailed guide for researchers looking to develop and optimize liposome-based drug delivery systems.

This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for drug delivery researchers, covering all aspects of liposomes in one single volume. By following the decision process outlined in the book, researchers can determine whether and what liposomes are most applicable to their particular interest.
