Nano-liposomes: Historical Perspectives and Major Advances in Cancer Therapy. A critical Review
Since the discovery of liposomes by Bangham and co-workers in 1960, giant strides in the field of liposomes as drug carriers for cancer therapy have been achieved. From the very first generation of liposomes known as conventional liposomes to the stealth

Encapsulation of Living Leishmania Promastigotes in Artificial Lipid Vacuoles. [PDF]
After phagocytosis by mammalian macrophages, promastigote forms of Leishmania parasites settle inside intracellular parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) in which they transform into amastigote forms and replicate.

Reconstitution and functional studies of hamster P-glycoprotein in giant liposomes. [PDF]
This paper describes the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles with reconstituted hamster P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) for studying the transport activity of this efflux pump in individual liposomes using optical microscopy.

Electrochemiluminescence Imaging of Liposome Permeabilization by an Antimicrobial Peptide: Melittin
The permeabilization of liposomes by melittin, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), has been studied by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging strategy. The methodology consisted first of encapsulating ECL reagents in sealed giant asymmetrical liposomes ...
