Liposome: Structure, Preparation and Future Perspectives

Liposomes are the spherical vesicles that comprises of phospholipid bilayers which is most important in the area of drug delivery, cosmetics as well as nanomedicine. They have capacity to incorporate both amphiphilic or amphipathic substances which makes them a versatile carrier for targeted therapies liposomes play a crucial role in increasing drug solubility, to improve bioavailability, along with reducing toxicity. Their capacity is to deliver therapeutic agents to specific sites and make them an essential component in modern medicine. The field of liposomal research has expanded widely, with its applications in cancer therapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and vaccine delivery. The applications of liposomes protrude over medicine, reaching the food, cosmetic, and agricultural industries, where they improve the stability of bioactive compounds. This article describes the fundamentals of liposomes with their structural composition, classification, and various preparation methods. It also describes the applications of liposomes in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics etc as well as the challenges that are faced in large – scale production and stability, with this the review highlights ongoing research and the future trends in liposome technology, such as artificial intelligence – assisted liposomes design and hybrid lipid – polymer vesicles with the continuous advancements, liposomes are set to revolutionize targeted drug delivery and precision medicine, ensuring improved therapeutic outcomes for patients worldwide.
