Abstract
Since the emergence of the concept of liposomes in 1965, a rapidly increasing information has been accumulating regarding the physicochemical properties of liposomes. A vast knowledge on the artificial lipid vesicles has advanced the prospect of their practical use as carriers of enzymes and drugs in therapeutic as well as preventive medicine. However, various difficulties have to be overcome before liposomes are applied to patients. This chapter will bring together the main research works exclusively related to the aspect of medical application of liposomes as a carrier system.
