Advanced Liposome Technologies: Preparation, Mechanisms, and Applications

Introduction

Advanced Liposome Technologies is a practical and research-focused overview of liposome-based systems and their expanding role in modern drug delivery, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Beginning with foundational principles, the book explains liposome structure, behaviour, and formulation approaches, followed by detailed discussions on preparation techniques, characterisation methods, and mechanistic pathways that govern liposomal performance.

With special emphasis on stability enhancement, controlled release mechanisms, surface modification, and emerging innovations such as stimuli-responsive liposomes and multifunctional nanocarriers, chapters explore applications across oncology, infectious diseases, vaccine development, gene delivery, and targeted therapy.
