    GlossaryLiposomes (Lipid Vesicles)

    tiny, spherical vesicles used to deliver drugs to cells

    Liposomes are tiny, spherical vesicles made from cholesterol and natural non-toxic phospholipids, which are similar to the lipids that make up cell membranes. They are used in drug delivery systems to encapsulate medications, ensuring that the drugs are delivered directly to the target cells, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing side effects.
