Liposomes

Liposomes are spherical structures made of phospholipids, which are an important component of all cell membranes. Liposomes are a novel delivery system for drugs, vaccines and other agents, as they have a high capacity for encapsulating and transporting active molecules, due to their semi-permeable and impermeable behavior. The use of liposomes enables targeted delivery of medications to specific cells and organs, minimizing the potency and toxicity of the molecules. Liposomes are also used in the food and cosmetic industries, as well as in research, due to their ability to protect bioactive molecules and control their release, providing enhanced safety and efficacy.
