Applications of nanotechnology in medicine are particularly promising and areas such as molecular imaging, disease diagnosis, bioactive encapsulation and targeted delivery at specific sites in the body are being intensively investigated and some products undergoing clinical trials (Moghimi et al., 2005; Shaffer, 2005; Wilkinson, 2003) . Usefulness of high-resolution scanning probe imaging in the study of lipidic gene transfer vectors and the interaction between liposomes and DNA molecules have recently been reviewed by Mozafari et al. Modern nanocarrier systems such as nanoliposomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (Saupe and Rades, 2006) , as well as silicon-, carbon-and polymer-based nanocarriers play an important role in controlled delivery of the bioactive agents to the desired site of action, limiting the side effects at nontarget sites (Ruozi et al., 2007) .	./cache/cord-273716-vv3pyft4.txt	./txt/cord-273716-vv3pyft4.txt
