Liposome Delivery

Cancer Treatment

The effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs may be limited by their rapid metabolism, toxic side effects, and the development of drug resistance. To overcome these limitations, liposomes have been widely used to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of various chemotherapeutic drugs. Liposomes have multiple advantages in cancer treatment, including:

• Improve the pharmacokinetic properties of encapsulated drugs.
• longer cycle times.
• Strong permeability and retention (EPR) mechanism.
• Improve drug solubility.
• Enhance targeting effect.

Gene Therapy

The main purpose of gene therapy is to deliver genetic materials such as DNA, RNA, and antisense oligosaccharides into living cells to correct diseases caused by gene mutations or defects. As an effective non-viral gene delivery carrier, liposomes play an unparalleled role in gene therapy due to their unique properties, including:

• Low immunogenic response.
• Increase the stability of DNA in the body.
• High gene delivery efficiency.
• Low cytotoxicity.
• Good biocompatibility.

Cosmetics

Liposomes are tiny vesicles that encapsulate water-soluble active ingredients through a lipid layer. They have an aqueous core that can be used as a delivery vehicle. They play many roles in cosmetics, including:

• Improve the stability of active ingredients.
• Increase skin hydration.
• Enhance skin absorption of active ingredients.
• Enhanced dermal bioavailability and skin targeting.
• Prolongs the release of active ingredients.
• Increase skin hydration.
• Improve skin barrier function.

Agriculture

Liposomes are a commonly used biological material in agricultural production and can be used to carry and release various active ingredients, such as pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Nowadays, it has been used to improve the stability of pesticides, enhance their effects, and reduce their impact on the environment and ecology. At the same time, liposomes can also improve the absorption rate of fertilizers and reduce waste and pollution. Furthermore, the important unique value of liposomes in agriculture is that they can be modeled as research surrogates to simulate more complex natural systems.

Food Industry

Targeted delivery of sensitive ingredients to obtain expected benefits is a challenge the global food industry faces. Liposome-oriented strategies are ideal for encapsulating sensitive ingredients and improving product solubility and bioavailability. Using liposome encapsulation technology, sensitive ingredients can be wrapped inside liposomes to form a stable microcapsule structure, which can effectively protect them from environmental factors and extend their stability and shelf life in products.
