Consensus has been reached that curved membrane phases do play an important role in nature as well, especially in dynamic processes, such as vesicles fusion and cell communication. Self-assembled lipid structures have enormous potential as dynamic materials ranging from artificial lipid membranes to cell membranes, from biosensing to controlled drug delivery, from pharmaceutical formulations to novel food products to mention a few.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn assortment of chapters in this volume represents both original research as well as comprehensive reviews written by world leading experts and young researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ales Iglič︎\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128047089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128047088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Ales Igli\u0026#269;\u0026#65038;","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135925465343,"sku":"9780128047088","price":227.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1e62dad-845e-4439-882c-2193e4cc6f2d.jpg?v=1770159359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/advances-in-biomembranes-and-lipid-ales-igli-9780128047088","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
