abstract：:Liposomes can be used for the delivery of drugs in cancer chemotherapy. After i.v. injection liposomes are to a large extent taken up by the mononuclear phagocytic system (MPS). When treating diseases in the MPS, such as the histiocytic syndromes, this property is of potential value for drug targeting and may lead to ...
