Unusual Liposome Image During Drug Research and Development
A liposome is a nano-sized particle that functions as a membrane, similar to how a cell membrane surrounds a living cell. Using nanotechnology, liposomes can be turned into tiny vehicles for delivering drugs to targets in the body where other medicines can’t go. The liposome in this image was designed to access the lymphatic system.
