title: Liposomes: presentation and actual applicative trends in medicine.
abstract: In this paper the main aspects of characterization, handling and applications of liposomes are presented. In the last 25 years much attention has been focused to liposomal systems for optimization of the drug targeting. Several pathways to optimize the drug action of liposomes in various situations as cancer, microbial therapy, vaccines, oral therapy and diagnosis were tested. Certain applications of liposomes especially those implying the phagocytic cells sustain a real interest for industrial applications.
