Liposomesare vesicles composed of one or more concentric phospholipid bilayers that trap aqueous phases between them. Due to their physicochemical properties, they have theability to transport hydrophilic(water-soluble)moleculesinto the interior of the vesicle and hydrophobic (water-insoluble) molecules into the lipid membrane. Liposomesinteract with cells through membrane-liposome fusion mechanisms.
