Abstract:


Described first in the 1960s by Bangham1 and understood as a potential drug delivery system in the early 1970s,2−4 the liposome has since become integral to research and clinical applications in the field of nanomedicine. Five decades of research in the field of liposome research have shown their prospective benefits in the medical and cosmetic5−7 as well as the food industry.8,9 Several promising small molecule drugs and genes previously deemed less than useful due to problems of stability, solubility, and nonspecific toxicity can now be delivered to the intended sites of action with the help of nanocarriers like micelles, nanoparticles, and liposomes.

Publication - Abstract

In gene delivery, non-viral vectors have become the preferred carrier system for DNA delivery. They can overcome major viral issues such as immunogenicity and mutagenicity. Cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer is one of the most commonly used non-viral vectors, which have been s...
