Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

Liposomes are cellular structures made up of lipid molecules. 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 D is a continuation of previous MIE Liposome volumes A, B, and C. Contents: Antibody or Ligand Targeted Liposomes; environment sensitive liposomes; liposomal oligonucleotides; liposomes in vivo.
