Abstract

Liposomes are well-known as phospholipid-based self-assembled nanovesicles, which structurally consist of forming a bilayer and/or a concentric series of multiple bilayers enclosing a central aqueous compartment. In the past few years, liposomes have continued to be explored and exploited for loading as well as delivering either hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic drugs or other therapeutic agents. In addition, liposomes have already been proved to deliver their payload to the diseased site(s), selectively, through active and/or passive targeting. The current book chapter describes about the liposomes as efficient lipid nanovesicular systems for drug delivery applications.
