Abstract

The development of new efficient methods for combating serious diseases, among which, oncological and infectious diseases hold a special place, remains to be an urgent challenge of biomedicine and biotechnology. Currently, the efforts of scientists are focused on the search for drug systems that provide high efficiency of treatment with minimal impacts on a human body. The development of this field has led to the creation of stimuli-responsive liposomes that can release an encapsulated drug under a specific stimulus, such as temperature, pH, electromagnetic field, light, etc. Being stimulated, lipid bilayer vesicles change their structure, size, surface charge, or phase state, thus leading to a controlled release of the drug in a specific place of the body, thereby resulting in a more accurate and efficient delivery. This review discusses the current trends in the development of liposome-based stimuli-responsive systems for the controlled delivery of biologically active substances.
