Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, July 21st, 2005

Scientists discovered a novel mechanism of hybrid liposomes-induced apoptosis in human tumor cells.

According to recent research published in the International Journal of Cancer, "Hybrid liposomes can be prepared by simply ultrasonicating a mixture of vesicular and micellar molecules in a buffer solution. The physical properties of these liposomes, such as size, membrane fluidity, phase transition temperature and hydrophobicity can be controlled by changing the composition."

"Hybrid liposomes composed of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine and polyoxyethylene (10) dodecyl ether were found to inhibit the growth of human promyelocytic leukemia...
