A liposome is a small artificial vesicle, spherical in shape, having at least one lipid bilayer. [2] Due to their hydrophobicity and/or hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, particle size and many other properties, [ 2 ] liposomes can be used as drug delivery vehicles for administration of pharmaceutical drugs and nutrients , [ 3 ] such as lipid ...
Cross Section view of the structures that can be formed by phospholipids in aqueous solutions. In biophysics and colloidal chemistry, polymorphism is the ability of lipids to aggregate in a variety of ways, giving rise to structures of different shapes, known as "phases".
A ligand-targeted liposome (LTL) is a nanocarrier with specific ligands attached to its surface to enhance localization for targeted drug delivery. The targeting ability of LTLs enhances cellular localization and uptake of these liposomes for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes.
The PTX-embedded cationic liposome interacts with the negatively charged tumor endothelial cells required for tumor angiogenesis, in order to reduce their tumor blood supply. [ 7 ] [ 16 ] Through this mechanism, EndoTAG-1 is able to prevent angiogenesis in the tumor, which in turn inhibits tumor growth. [ 16 ]
Unilamellar liposomes are used to study biological systems and to mimic cell membranes, and are classified into three groups based on their size: small unilamellar liposomes/vesicles (SUVs) that with a size range of 20–100 nm, large unilamellar liposomes/vesicles (LUVs) with a size range of 100–1000 nm and giant unilamellar liposomes ...
Solid lipid nanoparticles can function as the basis for oral and parenteral drug delivery systems. SLNs combine the advantages of lipid emulsion and polymeric nanoparticle systems while overcoming the temporal and in vivo stability issues that troubles the conventional as well as polymeric nanoparticles drug delivery approaches.
