Abstract
Thirty years of study have proved that these artificial organelles are versatile tools for learning about the cell membrane. Researchers are now actively investigating their potential for some interesting practical uses as vehicles for gene transfer, as artificial erythrocyte surrogates, as a lubricant for degenerated joint surfaces, and most imminently as “targeted carriers” of pharmacologic agents.Keywords
