Special Issue on Liposomes, Exosomes, and Virosomes

This special issue of the Biophysical Journal hosts a collection of articles submitted by participants of the Biophysical Society Thematic Meeting "Liposomes, Exosomes, Virosomes: From Modeling Complex Membrane Processes to Medical Diagnostics and Drug Delivery", which took place in September 2016 in Ascona, Switzerland. All articles deal with aspects of generating or characterizing membrane vesicles, proteins or lipids in them, and interactions between them. Not only have membrane vesicles become useful tools to study fundamental properties of biomembranes and cellular organelles and viruses, but they have also been frequently employed in diagnostics and drug or gene delivery and thus have become important tools for practical applications.
