Liposomes in Modern Medicine: The Future of Life, Healthcare

The word liposome is a combination of the Greek words "Lipos," which means fat, and "Soma," which means body. Liposomes are spherical-shaped vesicles made up of cholesterol and phospholipids that are being studied extensively as medication carriers to increase the delivery and bioavailability of medicinal substances. Many liposome-based drug delivery systems are presently undergoing clinical trials as a result of creative advancements in liposome technology, and some of them have recently been granted approval for clinical usage. Their hydrophobic and lipophilic properties, along with their size, make them emerging drug delivery methods. The goal of this innovative drug delivery method is to deliver the medication straight to the site of action. Liposomes are stable and biocompatible. Their ability to trap both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs (due to their amphipathic nature) in their compartment makes them special.
