In a multi-disciplinary approach the book deals with
liposome dermatics fromthe chemist's, pharmacist's,
biologist's as well as clinician's point of view. It
features the production of liposomes, appropriate raw
materials, encapsulation of active ingredients, possible
incorporation into vehicles such as gels, assessment of
stability, fate of liposomes and active ingredients exposed
to animaland human skin both in vitro and in vivo, activity
of topical liposome preparations in normal and inflamed skin
in animal and man as well as efficacy in skin diseases in
man. Other aspects covered comprise the ecological and
juridic area. The scope being theoretical and practical at a
time, the book provides a sound basis for future
developments to meet the needs of patients suffering from so
far recalcitrant skin diseases.
