Mechanical Characterization of Liposomes and Extracellular Vesicles, a Protocol

Mechanical Characterization of Liposomes and Extracellular Vesicles, a Protocol

Both natural as well as artificial vesicles are of tremendous interest in biology and nanomedicine. Small vesicles (<200 nm) perform essential functions in cell biology and artificial vesicles (liposomes) are used as drug delivery vehicles. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful techniqu...
