    With contributions from leading experts, this book is the first to focus solely on addressing the problems and reviewing the strategies currently being used to improve the delivery of antisense nucleic acids. Important delivery issues, such as improving biological stability, improving cell-specific targeting and cellular uptake, manipulating subcellular distribution and producing liposomal delivery systems for antisense agents are comprehensively covered in this volume. This book links review-type articles with contributions that contain exciting never-before-published data on the cellular delivery of oligonucleotides. It stimulates reading for both established researchers and newcomers to the antisense field.
