Liposomes are self-closed vesicular structures composed of phospholipids that entrap water in their interior. These structures result from self-assembly of the amphiphiles in an aqueous medium forming ...

Drugs can be safely delivered to cancerous lymph nodes via the lymphatic system and then released inside the nodes using sound waves. Tohoku University researchers tested the treatment on mice with ...

Cancer is transported from one organ to another by invisible bubbles. Understanding these microscopic messengers could change the fight against metastasis. Preventing cancer from spreading throughout ...

Spatiotemporal regulation of multistep enzyme reactions through compartmentalization is essential in studies that mimic natural systems such as cells and organelles. Until now, scientists have used ...

Alec Bangham, the researcher who in 1961 discovered liposomes -- tiny close-membraned vesicles -- died last month at the age of 88. A liposomeImage: Wikimedia commons, Dennis BartenTrained as a ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Controlled Release, researchers developed 1,2-dimpalmiyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) liposomes co-loaded with methylprednisolone (MPS) and ...

Liposomes were formulated for the first time at the beginning of the 1960s, exosomes were named as such at the beginning of the 1980s. Liposomes have been extensively explored as a drug delivery ...
