Summary
Examining various aspects of stealth liposomes, this book provides a historical perspective, describes liposome behavior in biological systems, and a reviews the role of glycolipid-containing liposome systems. It presents theoretical considerations followed by contributions that provide experimental verification of the various theoretical models.
