title: Albumin microspheres. I: Physico-chemical characteristics.
abstract: Albumin microspheres are biodegradable particles which can be readily radiolabelled and synthesized in the size range of 1 to 200 microns. During the last 30 years extensive efforts have been made towards the design and development of this carrier for the purpose of diagnosis and drug delivery. This review presents a thorough discussion on the physico-chemical characteristics of albumin microspheres.
