Liposomes

Liposomes

synthetic, relatively uniform bilayer lipid membrane-bound vesicles formed by emulsification of cell membranes in dilute salt solutions. Liposomes are being developed as an approach for drug delivery in which relatively toxic drugs, e.g., amphotericin b, doxorubicin, and pentavalent antimony, are wrapped inside a liposome and tagged with an organ-specific antibody.

Re: Trap for viruses...

It's already been done before by modifying red blood cells instead of liposomes. And like all research, don't expect breakthrough treatments for at least a decade...

co-transfection- how does it work?

... of this and how does that work? When is this true? And how much can I trust it? Is it that if you use a method like lipofectamin you create small liposomes that contains a lot of plasmid and that it is very likely that both plasmid is in this liposomes? And therefore get into the cell? In that ...

The Fiber Disease

from msc, forgot to mention that it is vital to stay away from any product that states lipids, microbeads, microspheres, RETINOIDS, lecithins, liposomes, and biological. we have a public health and safety document done at a conference in maryland that they knew any cells of another species being ...

The Fiber Disease

... various types of cancers and diseases. To date, polymeric nanovectors (e.g., nanoparticles, nanospheres, nanocapsules, nanosuspensions, micelles, liposomes, and dendrimers) have been the focus of intense research. Since the mid-19th century, inorganic layered double hydroxide (LDH) ceramics are ...
