How liposomes are built (in plain English)? | |
Cell membranes are bilayers of phospholipids with “heads” that like water and “tails” that dislike it. When these molecules meet water, they self-assemble into spheres to keep tails away from water—presto, a liposome. Formulators tweak three main dials to change how a liposome behaves: • Size: Small unilamellar vesicles (≈50–150 nanometers) circulate longer and can penetrate tissues more easily; larger, multilamellar ones carry more cargo but release it more slowly. • Composition: Adding cholesterol stiffens the bilayer and reduces leaks; choosing saturated vs. unsaturated lipids changes flexibility and oxidation resistance. • Surface characteristics: Neutral, positive, or negative charge—and coatings like PEG for “stealth”—influence stability, circulation time, and how the immune system responds. https://specnova.com/lipovantage/what-is-a-liposome/ ![]() | |
