2. Lipid systems developed for research and clinical use
2.1 Liposomes
Pioneers of lipid systems, liposomes were first formulated by Bangham in 1964 as characterization tools in the study of biological membrane dynamics . The concept of using these vesicles as cell delivery systems is based on the possibility of fusion between these vectors and the targeted cell membranes.
In its simplest form, a liposome is a vesicle with an aqueous core, whose membrane, in the form of...
